The Celebration Hymnal

Praise the Lord! Ye Heavens, Adore Him

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 hath spoken;  
Worlds His mighty voice obeyed.  
Laws which never shall be broken  
For their guidance hath He made.  

2 Praise the Lord! for He is glorious;  
Never shall His promise fail.  
God hath 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.  

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.
