Chandos Anthem no. 9: O praise the Lord with one consent

Chorus

O praise the Lord with one consent

and magnify his name!

Let all the servants of the Lord,

his worthy praise proclaim!

Alto

Praise him, all ye that in his house

attend with constant care,

with those that to his utmost courts

with humble zeal repair.

Tenor

For this our truest int'rest is

glad hymns of praise to sing,

and with loud songs to bless his name,

a most delightful thing.

Bass

That God is great we often have

by glad experience found;

and seen how he with wondrous power

above all Gods is crowned.

Chorus

With cheerful notes let all the earth

to heaven their voices raise!

Let all, inspired with godly mirth,

sing solemn hymns with praise.

Soprano

God's tender mercy knows no bounds,

his truth shall ne'er decay.

Then let the willings nations round

their grateful tribute pay.

Chorus

Ye boundless realms of joy

exalt your Maker's fame;

his praise your song employ

above the starry frame.

Chorus

Your voices raise,

ye Cherubim and Seraphim,

to sing his praise!

Alleluja.
