Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen
(\'All creatures of our God and King\')
Psalm 148
*********
Praise the Lord in the heavens above
And yet He near us in His love
Alleluia, Alleluia
Praise Him in the heights, people all
And all His angels on Him call
Trusting Him, safe you shall not fall
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Praise Him, all you hosts, serving free
Praise Him sun and moon radiantly
Alleluia, Alleluia
Praise Him, all stars of light, you shine
With His created gleams divine
And with His purposes align
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Praise Him you highest heavens, so
And you waters, rain, showers, dew
Alleluia, Alleluia
Let them the LORD\'s name it upraise
For He commanded in His days
And they created as He says
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
He has stablished them for ever
Made decrees which they pass never
Alleluia, Alleluia
Praise the LORD all on earth, dry land
And seas, all formed by His good hand
Creatures made by Him, wondrous band
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Praise Him, fire, hail, snow, and vapours
Each one to your Creator stirs
Alleluia, Alleluia
Stormy wind his word fulfilling
From His treasures He does it bring
For He Lord over everything
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Praise Him, mountains, hills, fruitful trees
Cedars, meadows, pastures, and leas
Beasts, cattle, creeping things, and birds
For of His greatness you have heard
All made sure by His living word
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Praise Him, kings, queens, and all people
Princes, judges, young, old, e\'en all
Alleluia, Alleluia
Adults and children, let them praise
Him, and fresh praises e\'er upraise
His name excellent through all days
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
His glory is above the earth
And above heaven, give Him worth
Alleluia, Alleluia
He gives strength unto His people
Their strength is their praise, e\'er of all
Israel, they do on Him call
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
