English text

Sing praise to God in heaven above,
Proclaim his everlasting love;
Let all exalt the Father’s goodness,
His mercy, excellent in fullness.

O all the earth, His praises sing,
Come let the joyful anthem ring
And laud his ways with jubilation
For he is Lord of all creation.

Praise we the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, with them one;
Here at the Sacred altar bending,
With harp and voice in worship blending!
