London Tune.

〈♫〉〈♫〉PRaise ye the Lord praise ye the lord, 〈♫〉〈♫〉ev'n from the hea--vens high: 〈♫〉〈♫〉Ev'n from the heights his praise re--cord, 〈♫〉〈♫〉a----bove the star---ry sky. [verse 2] His angels all, his praise begin, and all his hosts of might: [verse 3] Praise him both sun and moon, praise him O all ye stars of light. [verse 4] Ye heav'n of heaven's lofty sphere, him praise and magnify: Ye waters also that be there above the heavens high. [verse 5] O let them praise the mighty name of our almighty Lord: For he commanded, and they came, created at his word.

[verse 6] He hath establisht them to be, and that for evermore: He hath ordained a decree, which they shall not pass o're. [verse 7] Praise God from th'earth all in your kind, ye dragons and all deeps: [verse 8] Fire, hail, snow, vapour, stormy wind, his word that fully keeps. [verse 9] All hills and mountains, fruitful springs, all trees and cedars high: [verse 10] All beasts and cattel creeping things, and all the fowl that fly. [verse 11] Kings of the earth and people there, princes and judges all; [verse 12] Young men and maidens ev'ry where, old men, and children small. [verse 13] O let them praise the Lord's great name, for that excells alone: His glory is above the frame of earth and heav'n's high throne. [verse 14] And he exalts his people's horn, his people he doth raise: His dearest saints from Isra'l born, O give the Lord his praise.
