Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#427

427. Praise the Lord of heaven

1 Praise the Lord of heaven,
Praise him in the height,
Praise him, all ye angels;
Praise him, stars and light;
Praise him, clouds and waters,
Which above the skies,
When his word commanded
Stablished did rise! A-men.

2 Praise the Lord, ye fountains
Of the deeps and seas,
Rocks and hills and mountains,
Cedars and all trees;
Praise him, clouds and vapors,
Snow and hail and fire,
Stormy wind, fulfilling
Only his desire.

3 Praise him, fowls and cattle,
Princes and all kings;
Praise him, men and maidens,
All created things;
For the Name of God is
Excellent alone,
Over earth his footstool,
Over heaven his throne.

Amen.
