O PRAISE THE LORD OF HEAVEN
By William Billings (1746-1800)
Based on Psalm 148
O praise the Lord of heaven.
Praise him in the height,
Praise him in the depth.
O praise the Lord of heaven.
Praise him all ye angels. 
Praise Jehovah. x2
Praise him, sun and moon and blazing comets:
Praise the Lord x3
Let them praise the name of the Lord: for He spake the word, and all were made; he commanded, and they were created. Admire, adore.
Ye dragons whose contagious breath, people the dark abodes of death.
Change your dire hissings into heav'nly songs, and praise your maker with your forked tongues.
O praise the Lord of heaven
Fire, hail and snow, wind and storms, beasts and cattle, creeping insects, flying fowl, kings and princes, men and angels, praise the Lord.
Jew and gentile, male and female, bond and free. Earth and heaven, land and water, praise the Lord.
Young men and maids, old men and babes, praise the Lord.
Join creation, preservation and redemption, join in one.
No exemption, nor dissension, one invention and intention reigns through the whole, to praise the Lord.
Hallelujah: Praise the Lord
