Praise to the Lord, the Almighty Songtext
von The Schola Cantorum of St. Peter's in the Loop

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,
The King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy
Health and salvation!
All ye who hear,
Now to His temple draw near;
Sing now in glad adoration!

Praise to the Lord, who o′er all
Things so wondrously reigneth,
Who, as on wings of an eagle,
Uplifteth, sustaineth.
Hast thou not seen
How thy desires all have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?


Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully,
Wondrously, made thee!
Health hath vouchsafed and, when
Heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee.
What need or grief
Ever hath failed of relief?
Wings of His mercy did shade thee.

Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper
Thy work and defend thee,
Who from the heavens the streams of
His mercy doth send thee.
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
Who with His love doth befriend thee.

Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that
Is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come
Now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen
Sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
