98. Praise Ye, Praise Ye the Lord

1 Praise ye, praise ye the Lord
In yonder heavenly height;
Ye angels, all His hosts,
In joyful praise unite;
O sun and moon, declare His might,
Show forth His praise, ye stars of light.

2 Praise Him, ye highest heavens,
Praise Him, ye clouds that roll,
Created by His power
And under His control,
Ye heavens that stand eternally,
Established by His firm decree.

3 Ye creatures in the sea
And creatures on the earth,
Your mighty Maker praise .
And tell His matchless worth;
Praise Him, ye stormy winds that blow,
Ye fire and hail, ye rain and snow.

4 Ye hills and mountains, praise,
Each tree and beast and bird;
Ye kings and realms of earth
Now let your praise be heard;
By high and low, by young and old,
Be all His praise and glory told.

5 By all let God be praised,
For He alone is great;
Above the earth and heaven
He reigns in glorious state;
Praise Him, ye saints, who know His grace
And ever dwell before His face.

Amen.
