Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A jubilant praise hymn by Charles Wesley (1743) calling all creation to worship God with music, voice, and heart. Draws on Psalm 150 imagery of harps, cymbals, and timbrels to celebrate God's greatness and majesty.
Verse 1
Praise the Lord
who reigns above
and keeps his court below;
praise the holy God of love
and all his greatness show;
praise him for
his noble deeds,
praise him for his
matchless power;
him from whom all
good proceeds
let earth and
heaven adore.
Verse 2
Celebrate th’eternal God
with harp and psaltery,
timbrels soft
and cymbals loud
in this high praise agree;
praise with every
tuneful string;
all the reach of
heavenly art,
all the powers of
music bring,
the music
of the heart.
Verse 3
God, in whom we
move and live,
let every creature sing,
glory to their
Maker give,
and homage to their King.
Hallowed be thy
name beneath,
as in heaven
on earth adored;
praise the Lord
in every breath,
let all things
praise the Lord.
