O my soul, praise the Love who is our health and salvation.
Join the great throng, wake harp and psaltery and song,
sound forth your glad adoration.
2 Praise be to God, who is o'er all things wondrously reigning,
who, as on eagle wings, lifts us, so gently sustaining.
Have you not seen, all that is needful has been
sent by God's gracious ordaining?
3 Praise be to God, who will prosper your work and defend you;
surely God's goodness and mercy here daily attend you.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
who with great love does befriend you.
4 Praise be to God! O forget not God's manifold graces;
all that has life and breath one song of gratitude raises.
Let the Amen sound from the people again;
gladly forever sing praises. Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Psalms; Celebration and Praise; God, Goddess, and Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: LOBE DEN HERREN
