Praise Perpetually

Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen

(\'All creatures of our God and King\')

********

We lift our hearts, voices, to you

Give you our lives, come, them renew

Alleluia, Alleluia

Drawing on resources rich, fine

We praise your name, it be divine

And to you fresh we do align

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

O come help, kindle [where] sparks low, dim

To glorify your Son, \'tis Him

Alleluia, Alleluia

Christ Jesus, He our Saviour here

We wait His return to appear

We shall love, praise in holy fear

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Move in each heart, each penitent

Your Spirit working, no relent

Alleluia, Alleluia

To change us more to image true

Of your Son, daily us renew

You give us good things not a few

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Help us, empower, where we weak

Inspire us more your way to seek

Alleluia, Alleluia

You Lord of life, you have a plan

For each one, child, woman, and man

Lifted now is the curse, the ban

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Looking not sole on outward things

Yet whate\'er they be, our soul sings

Alleluia, Alleluia

Unto you still our Lord and King

You rule, reign, over everything

Our great thanks unto you we bring

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Procession of praise marches on

Even when earthly days are gone

Alleluia, Alleluia

For eternal life do you give

They who believe in you shall live

Forgiving us as we forgive

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Let all creation your name praise

And songs of joy to you upraise

Alleluia, Alleluia

Creator, Maker, Father too

You shall one day make all things new

Eternity to spend with you

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
