1. Praise ye the Lord, let praise employ | |||
In his own courts, your songs of joy; | |||
The spacious firmament around | |||
Shall echo back the joyful sound. | |||
2. Recount his works in strains divine, | |||
His wondrous works, how bright they shine! | |||
Praise him for all his mighty deeds, | |||
Whose greatness all your praise exceeds.}} | |||

To spread your sacred pleasure round; | |||
While softer music tunes the lute, | |||
The warbling harp, the breathing flute. | |||
4. Ye virgin train, with joy advance, | |||
To praise him in the graceful dance ; | |||
Awake each voice and strike each string, | |||
And to the solemn organ sing.}} | |||

To softer, deeper notes reply; | |||
Harmonious let the concert rise, | |||
And bear the rapture to the skies. | |||
6. Let all whom life and breath inspire | |||
Attend and join the blissful choir; | |||
Bat chiefly ye who know his word, | |||
Adore and love and praise the Lord!}} | |||
