625. Sing Praise to the Lord

1 Sing praise to the Lord! praise God in the height;
Rejoice in his word, you angels of light;
O heavens, adore him by whom you were made,
And worship before him in brightness arrayed.

2 Sing praise to the Lord! praise God upon earth,
In tuneful accord, all you of new birth;
Praise him who has brought you his grace from above,
Praise him who has taught you to sing of his love.

3 Sing praise to the Lord, all things that give sound;
Each jubilant chord re-echo around;
Loud organs, his glory tell forth in deep tone,
And trumpets, the story of what God has done.

4 Sing praise to the Lord! thanksgiving and song
To him be outpoured all ages along;
For love in creation, for heaven restored,
For grace of salvation, sing praise to the Lord!
