1 Oh praise the Lord! he dwells on high,
Above the stars of yonder sky:
Before him, robed in dazzling white,
Stand all the radiant sons of light.
2 Oh praise the Lord! the angels praise
His holiness, his wondrous grace;
With harps of heaven, and songs divine,
Around his throne they sing and shine.
3 Oh praise the Lord! the streams of love,
From that unfailing fount above,
O'er all our spreading plains below
In healthful rills for ever flow.
4 Oh praise the Lord! our praise is due,
Since sinners share his blessings too:
The kingdom, power, and praise be thine,
Eternal Majesty Divine.
