WE PRAISE THY NAME by Alfred P. Addaquay — Lyrics
About WE PRAISE THY NAME
"We Praise Thy Name" is a straightforward, majestic anthem of adoration that centers entirely on exalting God. The piece opens with a unison declaration, drawing the whole choir together in a single voice of worship before blossoming into full four-part harmony. The lyrics focus on the absolute sovereignty of God, calling Him the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, and the immortal Judge.
For a choir, the structured progression from unison to harmony offers a wonderful way to build the intensity of praise. It works exceptionally well as an entrance hymn to gather the congregation in worship, or as a grand recessional to send the people forth with a strong declaration of faith. The repeating refrains of "we magnify Thy name" give the piece a steady, rhythmic momentum that carries right through to the final, joyful chords.
