The Choir and The Oratory :: :: University of Virginia Library

Praise the Lord!
Praise His name who dwells in light:
Praise the Lord who built the sky.
Praise Him for His deeds of might:
Praise His glorious majesty.
Swell the chorus to the sound
Of the trumpet's thrilling voice:
Bid harp and dulcimer rejoice,
And timbrel to the pipe rebound.
Nor let the silver-stringed lute
Or pipe of many reeds be mute.
Let the cymbals sweetly ring.
All the powers of music bring;
And let every breathing thing
Praise the Lord.
