Words
⤢ Full screenServants of God, in joyful laysSing ye the Lord Jehovah's praise;His glorious name let all adore,From age to age, forevermore.
Who is like God? so great, so high,He bows himself to view the sky;And yet, with condescending grace,Looks down upon the human race.
He hears the uncomplaining moanOf those who sit and weep alone;He lifts the mourner from the dust;In him the poor may safely trust.
O then aloud, in joyful lays,Sing to the Lord Jehovah's praise;His saving name let all adore,From age to age, forevermore.
