The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) ‎#37

37. Praise the Lord! ye heavens, adore him

1 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.
Praise the Lord! for he hath spoken;
Worlds his mighty voice obeyed;
Laws which never can be broken,
For their guidance hath he made.

2 Praise the Lord! for he is glorious;
Never shall his promise fail;
God hath made his saints victorious,
Sin and death shall not prevail.
Praise the God of our salvation!
Hosts on high, his power proclaim;
Heaven, and earth, and all creation,
Praise and magnify his Name!

Amen.
