Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy Health and Salvation!Join the full throng;Wake, harp and psalter and song;Sound forth in glad adoration!

Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth,Who, as on wings of an eagle, uplifteth, sustaineth.Hast thou not seenHow thy desires all have beenGranted in what He ordaineth?

Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully, wondrously, made thee;Health hath vouchsafed and, when heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee!What need or griefEver hath failed of relief?—Wings of His mercy did shade thee.

Praise to the Lord, who doth visibly bless and defend thee;Who from the heavens the streams of His mercy doth send thee!Ponder anewWhat the Almighty can doIf with His love He befriend thee.

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!He is thy Light;Soul, keep it always in sight,Gladly forever adore Him!
