Here is a hymn that we sang during the Breaking of Bread/Communion service. It’s another great hymn by Fanny Crosby.
Verse three calls the Lord Jesus “prophet, and priest, and king!” The Lord truly is Prophet (Deuteronomy 18:15), Priest (Psalm 110:4), and King (Psalm 2:6).
Praise him, Praise Him!
Words by Fanny J. Crosby & music by Chester G. Allen
1. Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!
Sing, O earth, his wonderful love proclaim!
Hail him, hail him! Highest archangels in glory!
Strength and honor give to his holy name!
Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard his children.
In his arms he carries them all day long.
Chorus:
Praise him! Praise him! tell of his excellent greatness.
Praise him! Praise him! ever in joyful song.
2. Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!
For our sins, he suffered, and bled, and died.
He our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,
hail him, hail him! Jesus, the crucified.
Sound his praises, Jesus who bore our sorrows,
love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong.
Chorus
3. Praise him, praise him! Jesus, our blessed redeemer!
Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring!
Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever!
Crown him, crown him! prophet, and priest, and king!
Christ is coming, over the world victorious.
Pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong.
Chorus
