Representative Text

1 Praise God on the throne of his power,
For great and eternal he reigns!
Praise him from the valleys of earth,
And praise him from mountains and plains.

Refrain:
Praise him who liveth forever,
With glory enthroned in the sky;
Praise him, ye living creation,
While nature’s glad voices reply.

2 Praise God, O ye depths and ye heights!
Praise him, O ye winds of the sea!
Praise him, O ye clouds of the air,
For great and almighty is he. [Refrain]

3 Ye worlds, that, revolving afar,
Are yet but the work of his hands,
Give praise that, pursuing your course,
Ye follow eternal commands. [Refrain]

4 Praise God, O ye children of men,
Ye humble and holy of heart;
Take thou in creation’s great song
The noblest and worthiest part. [Refrain]

5 This earth that is mortal will fail,
But years everlasting are thine!
Praise God for this holiest gift,
This mercy, this blessing divine. [Refrain]
