Praise the Lord! ye heavens, adore him
Words based upon Psalm 148 from the Foundling Hospital Collection (c. 1796)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!
