PRAISE ye the Lord,

Prepare your glad voice,

His praise in the great

Assembly to sing;

In our great Creator

Let Israel rejoice,

And children of Sion

Be glad in their King.

Let them His great Name
Extol in the dance,
With timbrel and harp
His praises express,
Who always takes pleasure

His saints to advance,
And with His salvation
The humble to bless.

With glory adorn'd,

His people shall sing,
To God, who their heads
With safety does shield;
To honour and triumph
His saints He will bring;
O therefore for ever
All praise to Him vield.

P.M.

PRAISE the Lord in that blest place

From whence His goodness largely flows; Praise Him in heav'n, where He His face Unveil'd in perfect glory shows.

Praise Him for all His mighty acts
Which He in our behalf has done;
His kindness this return exacts,

With which our praise should equal run.

Let all that vital breath enjoy,
The breath He does to them afford,
In just returns of praise employ,—
Let every creature praise the Lord.
