Let flags and banners joyfully wave 
O praise him, O praise him
In honour of the God who saves 
Break out with songs of joy 

For by his cross and by his blood (Women) 
O praise him, O praise him (All) 
His mercy flows, a cleansing flood (Women) 
Break out with songs of joy (All)

He entered hell with a victory shout (Men) 
O praise him, O praise him (All) 
And burst the gates from the inside out (Men) 
Break out with songs of joy (All) 

Now death at last has lost its sting 
O praise him, O praise him 
And everlasting life begins 
Break out with songs of joy 

Now dawns his age of grace and peace 
O praise him, O praise him 
When wars shall end, oppression cease 
Break out with songs of joy 

Let heaven and earth together sing 
O praise him, O praise him 
The glories of our suffering King 
Break out with songs of joy
