Praise the Lord! Ye Heavens Adore Him

Anonymous (1796) • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 1:1-31

Verse 1

Praise the Lord! ye heav'ns adore him; Praise him angels, in the height; Sun and moon, rejoice before him; Praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise the Lord! for he has spoken; Worlds his mighty voice obeyed; Laws which never shall be broken For their guidance he has made.

Verse 2

Praise the Lord! for he is glorious; Never shall his promise fail; God has made his saints victorious; Sin and death shall not prevail. Praise the God of our salvation! Hosts on high his pow'r proclaim; Heav'n, and earth, and all creation, Laud and magnify his name.

Verse 3

Worship, honor, 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.
