1 Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All who hear; Now to His temple draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration!
2 Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth;
Shelters thee under His wings, yes, and so gently sustaineth!
Have thou not seen How all thy longings have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
3 Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew What the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriends thee.
4 Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that has life and breath, come now with praises before Him.
Let the Amen Sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
Amen
