Lyrics

Praise the Lord who reigns above, celebrate his wondrous love.
Praise the Lord with sounding string, celebrate with tambourine.
Praise the Lord with harp and lute, celebrate with singing flute.
Praise the Lord with organ strong, celebrate with joyful song.
Praise the Father, Praise the Son, Praise the Spirit, Three in One.
Alleluia, Amen.
