The earth is here to please Him,
From deepest sea to cloudy sky,
And wind and rain in season.
Praising the name of the Lord
Your name O Lord and Your renown
Endures through generations,
You will free your people,
Have compassion on your servants.

Come to Him and praise Him.
All ye who fear the Lord,
Come to Him and praise Him.
