Hymn 38 NOW PRAISE WE GREAT Lyrics

1. Now praise we great and famous men,
The fathers, name in story;
And praise the Lord who now as then
Reveals in man His glory.

2. Praise we the wise and brave and strong,
Who graced their generation;
Who helped the right, and fought the wrong,
And made our folk a nation.

3. Praise we the great of heart and mind,
The singers sweetly gifted,
Whose music like a mighty wind
The souls of men uplifted.

4. Praise we the peaceful men of skill
Who builded homes of beauty,
And, rich in art, made richer still
The brotherhood of duty.
