1

All ye nations, praise the Lord,
All ye lands, your voices raise;
Heaven and earth, with loud accord,
Praise the Lord, forever praise;

2

For his truth and mercy stand,
Past and present and to be,
Like the years of his right hand,
Like his own eternity.

3

Praise him, ye who know his love;
Praise him from the depths beneath;
Praise him in the hights above;
Praise your Maker, all that breathe.
