1. Praise, praise ye the name of our Savior and God; Declare, oh, declare ye His glories abroad; Proclaim ye His mercy, from nation to nation, Till the uttermost islands have heard His salvation. For His love floweth on, free and full as a river; And His mercy endureth forever and ever. 2. Praise, praise ye the Lamb, who for sinners was slain; Who went down to the grave, and ascended again; And who soon shall return, when these dark days are o'er, To set up His kingdom, in glory and power. For His love floweth on, free and full as a river; And His mercy endureth forever and ever. 3. Then the heav'ns and the earth. And the sea shall rejoice; The field and the forest shall lift their glad voice; The sands of the desert shall flourish in green, And Lebanon's glory be shed o'er the scene. For His love floweth on, free and full as a river; And His mercy endureth forever and ever. 4. Her bridal attire, and her festal array, All nature shall see on that glorious day; For her King cometh down with His people to reign, And His presence shall bless her with glory in men. For His love floweth on, free and full as a river; And His mercy endureth forever and ever.
