34. Praise ye Jehovah's name

1 Praise ye Jehovah's name,
Praise through his courts proclaim,
Rise and adore.
High o'er the heavens above,
Sound his great acts of love,
While his rich grace we prove
Vast as his power.

2 Now let the trumpet raise
Sounds of triumphant praise,
Wide as his fame.
There let the harp be found;
Organs of solemn sound,
Roll your deep notes around,
Filled with his name.

3 While his high praise you sing,
Shake every sound string;
Sweet the accord!
He vital breath bestows;
Let every breath that flows,
His noble fame disclose;
Praise ye the Lord.
