2 Let the ransomed thus rejoice,
Gathered out of every land;
As the people of his choice,
Plucked from the destroyer's hand.

3 Praise him, ye who know his love;
Praise him from the depths beneath;
Praise him in the heights above;
Praise your Maker all that breathe.

4 For his truth and mercy stand,
Past, and present, and to be,
Like the years of his right hand--
Like his own eternity.

James Montgomery, 1822.


26 Hallelujah! 8s & 7s.

_Praise the Lord._

Hallelujah! song of gladness;
Song of everlasting joy;
Hallelujah! song the sweetest
That can angel hosts employ.

Cho.--Praise ye the Lord! sing Hallelujah!
Praise ye the Lord! sing Hallelujah!
