553. Praise the Lord, Who Reigns Above

1 Praise the Lord, who reigns above
And keeps his court below;
Praise the holy God of love,
And all his greatness show;
Praise him for his noble deeds,
Praise him for his matchless power;
Him from whom all good proceeds
Let earth and heaven adore.

2 Celebrate th'eternal God
With harp and psaltery;
Timbrels soft and cymbals loud
In his high praise agree;
Praise with every tuneful string;
All the reach of heavenly art,
All the powers of music bring,
The music of the heart.

3 Him, in whom they move and live,
Let every creature sing,
Glory to their Maker give,
And homage to their King.
Hallowed be his name beneath,
As in heaven on earth adored;
Praise the Lord in every breath;
lLet all things praise the Lord.

Amen.
