Praise the Lord on high,
Spirits of the blest!
Praise Him in the sky,
His glory ceaselessly
Let your song attest.
Angels of the Lord,
And depths of darkest night
By you the Lord of might
Ever be adored
In power infinite.
Praise Him, sun and moon,
Praise Him, stars and light,
And Jerusalem,
To great glory grown
By His birth this night.
Praise to God be given,
Waters that are sent
O'er the firmament.
Praise the Lord of Heaven,
Thunder and lightning blent.
Praise Him on the earth,
Dragons and all ye depths,
And after your kind,
Mists and mountain-heigbts,
Clouds, eclipses, wind.
All ye nations, praise,
Wild beasts, tempest-shocks,
Serpents, birds, and flocks,
All that the world locks
In its diverse ways.
