Sing Your Praise to the Lord is a 3-LP set compilation album released in 1984 by Word Records. This collection contains 30 tracks on three LP records and three cassette tapes by the Word artists at the time like Amy Grant, Russ Taff, Benny Hester, Leslie Phillips, The Imperials, Michael W. Smith, Petra and many others.
To promote the set, it was advertised on television to viewers for purchasing and as an incentive if you purchased the 3 LPs, you would get the LP of Grant's Grammy and Dove winning album Age to Age as a bonus for free. The 3 LPs or 3 cassettes were also given away free when signing up and purchasing LPs or cassettes (and later CDs) from the Word Family Record & Tape Club, which was very popular during the 1980s. A YouTube playlist is posted below this article.
