Hymn Lyrics
THE LYRICS ~ “Praise Him! Praise Him!”
Praise him! praise him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Sing, O earth his wonderful love proclaim!
Hail him! hail him! highest archangels in glory,
Strength and honor give to his holy name!
Like a shepherd Jesus will guard his children —
In his arms he carries them all day long:
Refrain:
Praise him! praise him! tell of his excellent greatness!
Praise him! praise him! ever in joyful song!
Praise him! praise him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
For our sins he suffered and bled and died;
He our Rock, our hope of eternal salvation,
Hail him! hail him! Jesus the Crucified.
Sound his praises — Jesus who bore our sorrows —
Love unbounded, wonderful, deep and strong: [Refrain]
Praise him! praise him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring!
Jesus, Savior, reigneth for ever and ever,
Crown him! crown him! Prophet and Priest and King!
Christ is coming, over the world victorious —
Pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong: [Refrain]

History of Hymn
THE HISTORY ~ “Praise Him! Praise Him!”
We know few or none of the specific circumstances of the hymn’s origin (it was published in the Bright Jewels hymnal), although we can see much of what surrounded Fanny Crosby and imbued her life at the time. “Praise Him, Praise Him” was written the same year, 1869, as her “Rescue the Perishing”, which focused on missionary work in U.S. inner-city areas, one of the major themes of her life, particularly in the period after the Civil War until her death. Her hymn writing could thus be viewed primarily through the prism of her missionary labors, especially the rescue missions in the New York area where she lived
