12.12.12.12.Ref.

PRAISE, praise ye the name of Jehovah, our God;

Declare, oh, declare ye His glories abroad;

Proclaim ye His mercy, from nation to nation,

Till the uttermost islands have heard His salvation.

For His love floweth on, free and full as a river;

And His mercy endureth forever and ever.

2

Praise, praise ye the Lamb, who for sinners was slain;

Who went down to the grave, and ascended again;

And who soon shall return, when these dark days are o’er,

To set up His kingdom, in glory and power.

3

Then the heavens and the earth, and the sea shall rejoice;

The field and the forest shall lift their glad voice;

The sands of the desert shall flourish in green,

And Lebanon’s glory be shed o’er the scene.

4

Her bridal attire, and her festal array,

All nature shall wear on the glorious day;

For her King cometh down, with His people to reign,

And His presence shall bless her with Eden again.
