12 LORD all glorious, Life of life!

To thee we raise our grateful songs:
Lift up our souls from thoughts of self
To thee to whom all life belongs.

2 Below all depths thy mercy lies;

Above all heights thy love ascends :
Thy providence our path surrounds :
Thy watchful care each step attends.

3 From thee all good desires proceed;
All holy thoughts we gain from thee;
The good we do is thine alone,

Thine shall our hearts' thanksgivings be.

4 Reveal thyself to us, O Lord,

In love, in wisdom, more and more;

That we may find thee ever near,

And praise and serve thee and adore. II.

13 PRAISE the Lord who reigns above,

And rules o'er all below!

Praise the God of truth and love,

And all his goodness show!
Praise him for his noble deeds!

Praise him for his matchless power!
Him from whom all good proceeds,
Let earth and heaven adore!

2 Him in whom we move and live
Let every creature sing;
Glory to their Maker give,

And homage to their King!
Praise the Lord with every breath!
All his wondrous love record!
He hath conquer'd hell and death;
Let all things praise the Lord!

2 To him shall endless prayer be made,
And endless praises crown his head ;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.

3 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his Name.

4 Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen.

II.

3 He crowns thy life with love,

When ransomed from the grave;
He, who redeemed our souls from hell,
Hath sovereign power to save.

4 O bless the Lord, my soul;

Let all within me join,

And aid my tongue to bless his name,
Whose favors are divine.

16 PRAISE the Lord! ye heavens, adore him !

Praise him, angels in the height;

Sun and moon, rejoice before him,
Praise him, all ye stars of light.

2 Praise the Lord, for he hath spoken
Worlds his mighty voice obey;
Changeless wisdom they betoken,
Love eternal they display.

3 Praise the Lord, for he is glorious,
Never shall his promise fail ;
He will make his truth victorious
Sin and death shall ne'er prevail.

4 Praise the God of our salvation;

Hosts on high his power proclaim :
Heaven and earth and all creation

Praise and magnify his Name.
