- 1Praise the Lord who reigns above and keeps His court below;Praise the holy God of love, and all His greatness show;Praise Him for His noble deeds; praise Him for His matchless pow’r;Him from whom all good proceeds let earth and heav’n adore.
- 2The Lord reigns the earth be glad let distant shores rejoice,Heav’n proclaim His righteousness;The fields be jubilant.Great is the Lord in Zion– praise Your great and awesome name.He has made salvation known with joy, good news proclaim.
- 3God, in whom they move and live, let ev’ry creature sing.Glory to their Maker give, and homage to their King.Hallowed be His Name beneath, as in heav’n on earth adored;Praise the Lord in ev’ry breath, let all things praise the Lord.
