Praise The Lord, Ye Heavens Adore Him 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 that 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!
Worship, honour, glory, blessing
Lord, we offer unto thee
Young and old, Thy praise expressing
In glad homage bend the knee
All the saints in heav’n adore Thee
We would bow before Thy throne,
As Thine angels serve before Thee
So on Earth Thy Will be done.
Foundling Hospital Collect (c. 1796), based on Psalm 148.
The tune was slightly different from how I remember the German national anthem to go: The notes from the first two lines of each verse were repeated for the third and fourth lines, before carrying on as I expected. But maybe I remembered the tune wrongly. |
