5. Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

PSALM CXLVIII.

1. YE boundless realms of joy,
Exalt your Maker's fame;

His praise your song employ
Above the starry frame;
Your voices raise,
Ye Cherubim,

And Seraphim,

To sing His praise!

2. Thou moon, that rul'st the night,

And sun,

that guid'st the day,

Ye glittering stars of light,

To Him your homage pay.

His praise declare,

Ye Heavens above,
And clouds that move
In liquid air.

3. United zeal be shown,

His wondrous fame to raise;

Whose glorious Name alone
Deserves our endless praise;
Earth's utmost ends
His power obey ;
His glorious sway

The sky transcends.

4. His chosen Saints to grace,

He sets them up on high;

And favours Israel's race,
Who still to Him are nigh:
O therefore raise

Your grateful voice,
And still rejoice
The Lord to praise.

5. To God the Father, Son,
And Spirit, ever blest,
Eternal Three in One,
All worship be addrest;
As heretofore

It was, is now,

And shall be so

For evermore.

Amen.

PSALM CXLIX.

1. PRAISE ye the Lord, Prepare your glad voice

His praise in the great
Assembly to sing ;
In our great Creator
Let Israel rejoice;
And children of Sion

Be glad in their King.

2. Let them His great Name
Extol in the dance;

With timbrel and harp
His praises express;
Who always takes pleasure
His Saints to advance,
And with His salvation
The humble to bless.

3. By angels in heaven
Of every degree
And saints upon earth,
All praise be address'd;
To God in three Persons,
One God ever bless'd,
As it has been, now is,

And always shall be. Amen.
