Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer
“Praise Him! Praise Him!” is a hymn that bursts with joy. From the very first line, it calls all of heaven and earth to lift up the name of Jesus with loud, grateful praise. It’s not quiet or reflective — it’s bold and confident, a celebration of who Christ is and all He’s done. Every word pushes upward in adoration.
The Story Behind the Hymn
This hymn was written by Fanny J. Crosby in 1869, one of the most beloved hymn writers in history. Though blind since infancy, Crosby’s heart was full of light and faith, and her hymns reflected her deep relationship with Jesus. “Praise Him! Praise Him!” is one of her more energetic and triumphant hymns, focused entirely on exalting Christ as Savior, Shepherd, and King.
The tune, written by Chester G. Allen, matches Crosby’s words with a lively, marching rhythm — making it easy for congregations to sing with energy and joy. It quickly became a favorite in revivals and worship services, especially in times of rejoicing.
What Makes It Powerful
This hymn doesn’t ask — it calls. It calls all believers to worship Jesus with their whole heart. It celebrates not only His power but His gentleness, not only His victory but His love. Each verse highlights a different aspect of Christ: Redeemer, Shepherd, Ruler, coming King.
A verse that reflects the heartbeat of this hymn is Psalm 150:6 (NIV):
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
That’s the core message: praise Him, not just for what He’s done, but for who He is. Loudly, gladly, and with everything we have.
My Violin Cover
When I arranged “Praise Him! Praise Him!” for violin, I wanted the joy of the melody to come through clearly. I kept the rhythm light but strong, letting each phrase rise like a shout of praise. There’s a natural momentum to this hymn, and I followed that energy without rushing it.
With Violin Hymns, I always try to let the tone of the song lead the way — and this one called for celebration. It’s a musical declaration of joy in Jesus.
Listen and Reflect
The video is below. As you listen, let your heart lift in praise — not because everything is perfect, but because Jesus is worthy. Let this hymn remind you that even in a noisy world, His name is still the highest, and His love the strongest. Praise Him! Praise Him! Tell of His excellent greatness! Praise Him ever in joyful song.
Lyrics
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.
Praise Him! Praise Him! Tell of His excellent greatness.
Praise Him! Praise Him ever in joyful song!
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.
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!
