Praise the Lord who
reigns above,
And keep his courts
below;
Praise the
holy God of love,
And all his
greatness show;
Praise him for his noble deeds,
Praise him for his
matchless power;
Him from whom all
good proceeds
Let earth and
heaven adore.
Celebrate the
eternal God
With harp and
psaltery,
Timbrels soft and cymbals loud
In his high
praise agree;
Praise him every
tuneful string;
All the reach of heavenly art,
All the
powers of music bring,
The music of the heart.
Him, in
whom they move and live,
Let every
creature sing,
Glory to their
Maker give,
And homage to their
King.
Hallowed be his name beneath,
As in
heaven on earth adores;
Praise the Lord in every
breath,
Let all things
praise the Lord.
Amen.
