Lyics

PRAISE the Lord; ye heavens, 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 broken,
For their guidance he hath 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.
