Hymn of Praise by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky — Lyrics
Servants of God, in joyful lays,
Sing ye the Lord Jehovah’s praise;
His glorious Name let all adore,
From age to age, forevermore.
Who is like God? so great, so high,
He bows Himself to view the sky;
And yet, with condescending grace,
Looks down upon the human race.

About Hymn of Praise
This rousing SATB anthem, Hymn of Praise, is suitable for any celebratory occasion. Tchaikovsky’s majestic setting of the English text lifts the spirit with its powerful proclamation of God’s glory and unending praise. The lyrics, drawn from traditional hymnody, echo the biblical fervour of the Sanctus and Hallelujah, exclaiming ‘Holy! Holy! Holy Lord God!’ and urging the congregation to ‘Sing ye the Lord Jehovah’s praise’. The music rises to meet the text, offering a grand and uplifting anthem that calls for fervent devotion and joyous celebration. This is a substantial and deeply devotional work, ideal for a choir wanting to make a bold statement of faith.
