1 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.
2 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.
