Praise to the Lord!
Who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under
His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth;
Hast thou not seen how thy entreaties have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?

Praise to the Lord!
Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness
And mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
If with His love He befriend thee.

Praise to the Lord!
O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath,
Come now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
