PRAISE the Lord! ye heavens, adore Him,

Praise Him, Angels, in the height;

Sun and moon, rejoice before Him,

Praise Him, all ye stars and light.
Praise the Lord! for He hath spoken,
Worlds His mighty voice obey'd;

Laws which never shall be broken
For their guidance hath He made.

Praise the Lord! for He is glorious;
Never shall His promise fail:
God hath made His saints victorious,
Sin and death shall not prevail.

Praise the God of our salvation;

Hosts on high, His power proclaim; Heaven and earth and all creation

Laud and magnify His Name.
