Praise the Lord! ye heavens, adore him
Tune "Abbott's Leigh" by Stewart Cross (1928–89)
Praise the Lord! ye heavens, adore him;
Praise him, angels, in the height;
Sun and moon, rejoice before him,
Praise him , all ye stars and light.
Praise the Lord! for he hath spoken;
Worlds his mighty voice obeyed:
Laws, which never shall be broken,
For their guidance he hath made.
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,
Laud and magnify his name!
Based upon Psalm 148 from the Foundling Hospital Collection (c. 1796)
