Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

Praise to the Lord, the almighty, the King of Creation!
His people praise Him, for His their health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near,
Join us in glad adoration!

Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters us under His wings, yea so gently sustaineth?
Hast thou not seen, how our desires have been,
Granted in what He ordaineth?

Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper our work and defends us,
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend us.
Ponder anew, what the Almighty hath done,
For with His love He redeemed us!

Praise to the Lord, who, when tempests their warfare are waging,
Who, when the elements madly around us are raging,
Biddeth them cease, turning their fury to peace,
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging.

Praise to the Lord, oh let all those who dwell here adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him.
Let the Amen, sound from His people again,
Gladly for aye we adore Him!
