1 Whoso offers praise glorifies the Master,
Jesus, "Friend of sinners," Christ, the Son of God,
Him that gave Himself, for our souls a ransom,
For us made atonement with His precious blood.
Chorus:
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Once crucified, "alive forevermore!"
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Let us glorify Him and His name adore!
2 Whoso offers praise glorifies the Master,
Surely He is worthy to receive our praise;
Once our Sacrifice, now our King in glory,
Joyful songs of adoration let us raise. [Chorus]
3 Praise Him for His love, boundless, everlasting,
Praise Him for His mercy unto such as we;
Praise Him for His peace, passing understanding,
Praise Him for the grace that saves and makes us free. [Chorus]
4 Saved from endless death! praise for us is comely,
Heirs of life eternal! How can we but sing?
Kept from day to day by His pow'r almighty,
Let us praise and glorify our Savior-King! [Chorus]

Thomas O. Chisholm was born in Franklin, Kentucky in 1866. His boyhood was spent on a farm and in teaching district schools. He spent five years as editor of the local paper at Franklin. He was converted to Christianity at the age of 26 and soon after was business manager and office editor of the "Pentecostal Herald" of Louisville, Ky. In 1903 he entered the ministry of the M. E. Church South. His aim in writing was to incorporate as much as Scripture as possible and to avoid flippant or sentimental themes.
