Praise We the Lord

Praise We the Lord

Text written in 1928 by J. Steuart Wilson (1889-1966)

Sung to the tune FRAGRANCE, a French carol melody arranged by Martin Shaw (1875-1958)

(The video is a Christmas video because the tune is more frequently heard at Christmas time.  I couldn't find it set to the words for "Praise We the Lord", but at least you'll know what the tune sounds like.)

Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 

V. 1 Praise we the Lord, who made all beauty

For all our senses to enjoy;

Owe we our humble thanks and duty

That simple pleasures never cloy;

Praise we the Lord, who made all beauty

For all our senses to enjoy.

Psalm 19:4, 5 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

V. 2 Praise Him who loves to see young lovers,

Fresh hearts that swell with youthful pride;

Thank Him who sends the sun above u,

As bridegroom fit to meet his bride;

Praise Him who loves to see young lovers,

Fresh hearts that swell with youthful pride.

V. 3 Praise Him who by a simple flower

Lifts up our hearts to things above;

Thank Him who gives to each one power

To find a friend to know and love;

Praise Him who by a simple flower

Lifts up our hearts to things above.
