Sing we Praises to the Lord. Halle. Hallelujah.
Bless his Name with one Accord Halle. Hallelujah.
For 'tis owing to his Care Halle. Hallelujah.
What we have & what we are Halle. Hallelujah.

He first made us by his Power.
And preserves us evry Hour
Food and Payment all are His,
Present comforts future Bliss

He direct our Steps by Day
Pointing out the safest Way.
And at Night in mercy Still.
Guards us from all kinds of Ill

God forgave us when Undone.
And redeemed us by his Son:
Raise your Voices then and Sing
Loud Hosanahs to our King.
