1 Praise the Lord, dark and light,
day and night, praise him!
Praise the Lord, space and sky,
land and sea, praise him!
Praise the Lord, sun and moon;
stars and planets, praise him;
all creation, join to sing his glory!
I will praise the Lord with a song of thanks,
I will praise the Lord with a song of joy;
I will praise his name for ever,
praise his glorious name for ever;
I will praise the Lord for evermore.
I will praise his name for ever,
praise his glorious name for ever;
I will praise the Lord for evermore.

2 Praise the Lord, fruit and seeds,
plants and trees, praise him!
Praise the Lord, fish and birds,
beasts and cattle, praise him!
Praise the Lord, living creatures,
all that breathes, praise him;
all creation, join to sing his glory!
Chorus

3 Praise the Lord, young and old,
men and women, praise him!
Praise the Lord, rulers, judges,
kings and princes, praise him!
Praise the Lord, heavenly hosts,
all his angels, praise him;
all creation, join to sing his glory!
Chorus

4 Praise the Lord, grass and rivers,
hills and mountains, praise him!
Praise the Lord, fire and hail,
wind and rain, praise him!
Praise the Lord, all the earth,
all of heaven, praise him;
all creation, join to sing his glory!
Chorus
