- 1Praise the Lord, ye heav'ns, adore Him;Praise Him, angels in the height.Sun and moon, rejoice before Him;Praise Him, all ye stars of light.Praise the Lord, for He hath spoken;Worlds His mighty voice obeyed.Laws which never shall be brokenFor their guidance He hath made.
- 2Praise 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 pow'r proclaim.Heav'n and earth and all creation,Laud and magnify His name.
- 3Worship, honor, glory, blessing,Lord, we offer unto Thee.Young and old, Thy praise expressing,In glad homage bend the knee.All the saints in Heav'n adore Thee;We would bow before Thy throne.As Thine angels serve before Thee,So on earth Thy will be done.
