Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:Chorus:
We will praise you with the sun and the moon,
With the sea and all it holds.
Earth and heaven sing the glory of God,
all creation praises your name.
1 O my soul, bless the Lord;
All that lives, bless the Lord.
Praise your name above all names;
All that breathes, bless the Lord.
2 You trees that grow, the winter snow,
You works of God, bless the Lord.
The winds that howl, the thunder's growl,
Sing the power of his name.
3 The stars of the night, darkness and light
Fire and rain, bless the Lord.
The cold and the chill, mountain and hill,
Praise the wonder of your name.
