Praise the Lord! whose love, unweary,
Ne’er forsakes us in distress:
Everything around us dreary,
Gladsome shines His glorious face!
Praise the Lord! our Help, He for us
Stood in judgment, purchased peace;
Here in conflict, went before us:
Gladsome shines His glorious face!
Praise the Lord! so full of mercy,
Strength, long-suffering, love and grace!
Though the way we tread be thorny,
Gladsome shines His glorious face!
Praise the Lord! who leaves us never,-
Faithful, guards the path we trace,
Blessings fresh, downpouring ever:
Gladsome shines His glorious face!
