The New Church Hymnal ‎#257

257. Praise the Lord! Ye Heavens, Adore Him

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;
Law which never shall be broken
For their guidance hath He 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.

3 Worship, honor, glory, blessing,
Lord, we offer unto Thee;
Young and old, Thy praise expressing,
In glad homage bend the knee.
All the saints in heaven adore Thee;
We would bow before Thy throne;
As Thine angels serve before Thee,
so on earth Thy will be done.

Amen.
