Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah! O my soul, Jehovah praise! I will sing the glorious praises Of my God through all my days Put no confidence in princes Nor for help on man depend He shall die, to dust returning And his purposes shall end Happy is the man that chooses Jacob's God to be his aid He is blessed whose hope of blessing On the Lord his God is stayed He has made the earth and heaven Seas, and all that they contain He will keep His truth forever Rights of those oppressed maintain Food Jehovah gives the hungry Sight Jehovah gives the blind Freedom gives He to the pris'ner Cheer to those bowed down in mind Well Jehovah loves the righteous To the stranger is a stay Helps the fatherless and widow But subverts the sinner's way Hallelujah, praise Jehovah O my soul, Jehovah praise I will sing the glorious praises Of my God through all my days Over all GOD reigns forever Through all ages he is King Unto him, thy God, O Zion Joyful hallelujahs sing
