 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 abroad.

Now is the time to praise Him,

Yes now, at any cost!

O joy in your salvation,

And in His mercy boast!
