PARAPHRASE OF PSALM CXLVII.




Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights.


Praise ye the Lord! on every height
   Songs to his glory raise!
Ye angel-hosts, ye stars of light[1],
   Join in immortal praise!

Oh! heavens of heavens! let praise far-swelling
   From all thine orbs be sent!
Join in the strain, ye waters, dwelling
   Above the firmament!
