Praise ye the Lord, the hope of our sal­va­tion;
Praise ye the Lord, our soul’s abid­ing trust;
Great are His works and won­der­ful His coun­sels;
Praise ye the Lord, the on­ly wise and just.
Praise ye the Lord, our strength and our Re­deem­er,
Praise ye the Lord, His migh­ty love re­call,
Tell how He came from bond­age to de­liv­er,
Tell how He came to pur­chase life for all.

Refrain

Praise ye the Lord, for good it is to praise Him;
O let the earth His ma­jes­ty pro­claim;
Shout, shout for joy and bow the knee be­fore Him;
Sing to the harp and mag­ni­fy His name.

Praise ye the Lord, whose throne is ev­er­last­ing;
Praise ye the Lord, whose gifts are ev­er new;
Praise ye the Lord, whose ten­der mer­cy fall­eth
Pure as the rain and gen­tle as the dew.
Praise ye the Lord, oh, glo­ry hal­le­lu­jah!
Praise ye the Lord, whose king­dom has no end;
Praise ye the Lord, who watch­eth o’er the faith­ful,
Praise ye the Lord, our ne­ver chang­ing friend.
