Full Lyrics

O praise ye the Lord,

Praise God in his place

Of holiness most bright;

Praise him in all the space

Of his great power and might.

Praise him for his acts done

In greatness excellent;

Praise him as he alone

In greatness hath no end.

Praise him with trumpet's sound;

Praise with the psaltery.

With timbrel and with dance,

With instruments of strings,

And organs in their place.

Praise him on cymbals loud;

Praise him on cymbals bright.

Let each thing breathing praise

The Lord with all its might.

Praise ye the Lord.
