The Lord our enemy has slain,
Ye sons of Jacob, sing a cheerful strain!
Sing songs of praise, bow down the knee.
The worship of our God is free!
The Lord our enemy has slain,
Ye sons of Jacob, sing a cheerful strain!
For ever blessed be thy holy name,
Let heav'n and earth his praise proclaim.

Let Israel songs of joy repeat,
Sound all ye tongues Jehovah's praise.
He plucks the mighty from his seat,
And cuts off half his days.

For ever blessed be thy holy name,
Let heav'n and earth his praise proclaim.

The Lord his people shall restore,
And we in Salem shall adore.

For ever blessed be thy holy name,
Let heav'n and earth his praise proclaim.

Mount Lebanon his firs resigns,
Descend, ye Cedars, haste ye Pines,
To build the temple of the Lord,
For God his people has restored.

For ever blessed be thy holy name,
Let heav'n and earth his praise proclaim.
