Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A hymn by Irish writer Thomas Kelly (1806) exhorting believers to praise Christ for His atoning death, resurrection life, and sovereign grace in electing sinners to share His throne. It moves from Christ's saving work to the wonder of being chosen and destined for glory.
Verse 1
Praise the Lord, who died to save us,
Praise His ever gracious Name;
Praise Him that He lives to bless us,
Now and evermore the same:
Blessed Saviour!
We would all Thy love proclaim.
Verse 2
Grace it was, yea, grace abounding,
Brought Thee down to save the lost;
Ye above, His throne surrounding,
Praise Him, praise Him all His host:
Saints! Adore Him!
Ye are they who owe Him most.
Verse 3
We, of all His hand created,
Objects of such grace alone,
By eternal love elected,
Destined now to share His throne,
Sing with wonder,
Sing of what our Lord hath done.
Verse 4
Praise His Name, who died to save us;
'Tis by Him His people live;
And in Him the Father gave us
All that boundless love could give:
Life eternal
In our Saviour we receive.
