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.
 * Alleluia! Alleluia!
 * Earth and heaven, your songs unite.

Praise the Lord, for He is glorious!
 * He hath put our foes to shame;

Over death and hell victorious,
 * Hosts on high His power proclaim.
 * Alleluia! Alleluia!
 * Laud and magnify His name.

Praise Him for His grace and favor
 * To our fathers in distress;

Praise Him still the same as ever,
 * Slow to chide, and swift to bless;
 * Alleluia! Alleluia!
 * Glorious in His faithfulness.
