Praise the God of our salvation
Words: Judson Conde
1Praise the God of our salvation,
Praise the Father's boundless love,
Praise the Lamb's abundant merit,
Priest and King, enthroned above.
2Praise him for his great salvation,
Him in whom his people live;
Undivided adoration
To the Lord Jehovah give.
