Tune: | LOBE DEN HERREN |
1 Praise to the Lord,
the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise him,
for he is your health and salvation!
Come, all who hear:
Now to his altar draw near,
Joining in glad adoration!
2 Praise to the Lord,
who shall prosper our work and defend us;
Surely his goodness and mercy
shall daily attend us.
Ponder anew
what the Almighty can do,
Who with his love will befriend us.
3 Praise to the Lord!
O let all that is in us adore him!
All that has life and breath
come now with praises before him!
Let the "Amen"
sound from his people again,
Now as we worship before him!
