Psalm 148

Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Unity of Humanity First Line: The Lord of heaven confess Lyrics: 1 The Lord of heaven confess, on high his glory raise. Him let all angels bless, him all his armies praise. Him glorify sun, moon and stars; ye higher spheres, and cloudy sky. 2 From God your beings are, him therefore famous make; you all created were, when he the word but spake. And from that place, where fixed you be by his decree, you cannot pass. 3 Praise God from earth below, ye dragons, and ye deeps: fire, hail, clouds, wind, and snow, whom in command he keeps. Praise ye his name, hills great and small, trees low and tall; beasts wild and tame; 4 All things that creep or fly. ye kings, ye vulgar throng, all princes mean or high; both men and women young, even young and old, exalt his name; for much his fame should be extolled. 5 Oh, let God's name be praised above both earth and sky; for he his saints hath raised, and set their horn on high; even those that be of Israel's race, near to his grace. The Lord praise ye. Scripture: Psalm 148 Used With Tune: ST. JOHN (Havergal) Text Sources: The Scottish Psalter 1929

Let streets and homes with praises ring. Love, drowned in death, shall never die. 2 Christ is alive! No longer bound to distant years in Palestine, but saving, healing, here and now, and touching every place and time. 3 In every insult, rift, and war, where colour, scorn, or wealth divide, Christ suffers still, yet loves the more, and lives, where even hope has died. 4 Women and men, in age and youth, can feel the Spirit, hear the call, and find the way, the life, the truth, revealed in Jesus, freed for all. 5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring good news to this and every age, till earth and sky and ocean ring with joy, with justice, love, and praise.
