All praised be The Name, which was, and is, and is to be, for aye the same. The one eternal God ere aught that now appears: the first, the last, beyond all thought or timeless years. 2 Unformed all lovely forms declare God's loveliness; no holiness on earth can e'er The Name express whose love enfolds us all; whose laud the earth displays. Yea, everywhere, above, below, is perfect praise. 3 The spirit floweth free, high surging where it will; in prophet's word did speak of old, and speaketh still. The Torah rests secure, and changeless it shall stand, deep writ upon the human heart, on sea, on land. 4 Eternal life hath God implanted in the soul; such love shall be our strength and stay while ages roll. Praise to the living God! All praised be The Name which was, and is, and is to be, for aye the same. Used With Tune: LEONI
