Hymns

Praise the Lord! Ye Heavens, Adore Him

Words: Edward Osler · Music: Joseph Haydn · 1801

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 hath spoken;
worlds his mighty voice obeyed.
Laws which never shall be broken
for their guidance hath he made.

Verse 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.

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.

Words: Sts. 1–2, anon., ca. 1801; st. 3, Edward Osler, 1836 | Music: Joseph Haydn, 1797
