Praise to the Lord,
The Almighty the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health
and salvation!
All ye who hear, brothers and sisters draw near,
Praise Him in glad adoration.
2) Praise to the Lord,
Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend t
hee;
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
Who with His love doth befriend thee.
3) Praise to the Lord,
Who doth nourish thy life and restore thee,
Fitting thee well for the tasks that are before t
hee,
Then to they need
He like a mother doth speed,
Spreading the wings of grace o'er thee.
4) Praise to the Lord,
Who when tempests their warfare are waging
Who, when the elements madly around thee are ragi
ng,
Biddeth them cease,
Turneth their fury to peace
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging.
5) Praise to the Lord,
Who, when darkness of sin is abounding
Who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue conf
ounding
Sheddeth His light,
Chaseth the horrors of night,
Saints with His mercy surrounding.
6) Praise to the Lord!
O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath,
Come now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen Sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
