1095--The Lord shall get the glory

The Lord shall get the glory

1095

	1.	The Lord shall get the glory
		If we will sing His praise,
		And angel hosts will listen
		When we our voices raise;
		The world around will hear us
		Give glory unto God,
		And Satan's hosts will tremble
		And flee our conqu'ring rod.
	2.	Our mouth shut up defeats us
		And wins the Devil's smile;
		So why not open battle
		And chase him all the while.
		By "sacrifice of praises"
		And shouts of victory-
		'Twill cost us but our faces
		God's chosen fools to be!
	3.	The world has never helped us
		To shout our Savior's praise,
		Nor given Him the glory
		Nor lent one thankful phrase;
		So need we ask permission
		To praise th' ascended Lord?
		Cry out! Release your spirit!
		Much grace He does afford!
	4.	O brothers, be not silent!
		O sisters, cry aloud!
		The sound shall tell God's triumph
		And blessings far aboard.
		Now is the time to praise Him,
		Yes now, at any cost!
		O joy in your salvation,
		And in His mercy boast!
