1.

Now have songs of praise begun;
With complaining we are done!
God be magnified by all in highest tones!
Yes, great things the Lord has done;
Let us praise Him, everyone.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, He’s on the throne!

Chorus:

Hallelujah! Praise the Savior!
Hallelujah! Praise His name!
He for us great things has done;
Let us praise Him, everyone.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord eternally!

2.

From our sin He’s set us free
And from death eternally—
Free from misery and doubt and unbelief.
“Hallelujah!” loud we sing
To our Savior, Lord and King!
In our guilt and shame He came to our relief.

3.

When the songs of praise broke out
And with triumph they did shout,
Then did Israèl with power overcome.
Therefore, let us praise the Lord,
Who has given us His Word
And His Spirit, sent to help and guide each one.
