Praise ye the Lord. From heavens him praise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord. From heavens him praise; in heights praise to him be. 2 All ye his angels, praise ye him; his hosts all, praise him ye. 3 O praise ye him, both sun and moon, praise him, all stars of light. 4 Ye heavens of heavens him praise, and floods above the heavens’ height. 5 Let all the creatures praise the name of the almighty Lord: for he commanded, and they were created by his word. 6 He also, for all times to come, hath them established sure; he hath appointed them a law, which ever shall endure. 7 Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, dragons, and every deep: 8 fire, hail, snow, vapour, stormy wind, his word that fully keep: 9 all hills and mountains, fruitful trees, and all ye cedars high: 10 beasts, and all cattle, creeping things, and all ye birds that fly: 11 Kings of the earth, all tribes of men, princes, earth’s judges all: 12 young men, and youthful maidens too, old men, and children small. 13 Let them the Lord’s name praise, for it alone is excellent: his glory reacheth far above the earth and firmament. 14 A horn he raiseth for his folk, to all his saints a praise, to Israel’s seed so near to him Jehovah's glory raise.

William Allen

1784 - 1868 Author of "O, praise ye the Lord, from heaven on igh" Allen, William, D.D., born at Pittsfield, Mass., 1784, graduated at Harvard, 1802. He became Pastor of Pittsfield, 1810; President of Dartmouth University, 1817, and of Bowdoin College, 1820-1839. He died at Northampton, 1868. He published the American Biographical and Historical Dictionary, 1809; Psalms and Hymns, 1835. The latter contains ver¬sions of all the Psalms, and 200 original hymns. Some of the hymns, especially those about slavery, are curious. Five are found in Campbell's Comprehensive Hymn Book, Lond., 1837. His compositions have almost entirely passed out of use. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Richard D. Wetzel

b. 1935 Author of "Praise the Lord from highest heaven" Richard D. Wetzel (b. 1935) received the Ph.D. in Musicology from the University of Pittsburgh, studying under D�nes Bartha, Theodore Finney, and Robert Snow. He joined the faculty of Ohio University in 1970. Dr. Wetzel's area of emphasis is American Music, and he is published in The New Grove Dictionary of American Music and American National Biography. His book, Frontier Musicians, is a definitive work on German-American music of the 18th and 19th centuries. Wetzel is also a composer and hymnologist, and his liturgical music is found in numerous denominational hymnals, including those published by the Episcopal and Presbyterian churches and the United Church of Christ. Professor Wetzel was the recipient of Ohio University's Outstanding University Professor Award and is currently Chair of Graduate Studies in the School of Music. His arrangement of Geoffrey Ainger's tune, MARY'S CHILD, can be found in the Worship & Rejoice hymnal. http://www.hopepublishing.com

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Praise the Lord! from heaven, praise Him!" in Hymnal Companion to the Prayer Book with Accompanying Tunes (Second Edition) In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
