Verse 1
Praise the Lord: you heavens, adore Him; Praise Him, angels in the height; Sun and moon, rejoice before Him; Praise Him, all you stars of light. Praise the Lord, for He has spoken; Worlds His mighty voice obeyed. Laws which never shall be broken For their guidance He has made.
Verse 2
Praise the Lord! for He is glorious; Never shall His promise fail. God has 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.
Verse 3
Worship, honor, glory, blessing, Lord, we offer as our gift. Young and old, Your praise expressing, Our glad songs to You we lift. All the saints in heaven adore You; We would join their glad acclaim; As Your angels serve before You, So on earth we praise Your name.
