O come, loud anthems let us sing

1.
O come, loud anthems let us sing, 
loud thanks to our almighty King, 
for we our voices high should raise, 
when our salvation's rock we praise. 

            Refrain:
                Great is the Lord! 
                What tongue can frame 
                an equal honor to his name?

2.
Into his presence let us haste, 
to thank him for his favors past, 
to him address, in joyful songs, 
the praise that to his name belongs.  ... ( Refrain)

3.
The depths of earth are in his hand, 
her secret wealth at his command, 
the strength of hills that reach the skies, 
subjected to his empire lies.  ... ( Refrain)

4.
Oh, let us to his courts repair, 
and bow with adoration there, 
down on our knees, devoutly all, 
before the Lord, our maker, fall. ... ( Refrain)
