Praise the Lord, for He hath spoken,
Worlds His mighty voice obey'd,
Laws which never shall be broken,
For their guidance hath he 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 pow'r proclaim;
Heaven and earth and all creation
Laud and magnify His Name.
HYMN 99.
Praise the Lord, whose mighty wonders
Earth, and air, and seas display;
Him, who high in tempests thunders,
Him, whom countless worlds obey.
In the eastern skies ascending,
Praise Him, glorious orb of day;
Ocean, round the world extending,
Praise Him o'er thy boundless way.
Pines that crown the lofty mountains,
Bow in sign of worship low;
All ye secret springs and fountains,
Warble praises as ye flow.
Beasts, through nature's drear dominions,
Praise Him where the wilds extend;
Praise Him, birds, whose sounding pinions
Up to Heaven's gate ascend.
