Praise the Lord of Heaven

"Praise The Lord Of Heaven" is a sweeping, cosmic hymn of adoration that calls on all of creation to lift its voice. Drawing its inspiration directly from Psalm 148, the text moves beautifully from the heights of heaven down to the depths of the earth. We start by summoning the angels, stars, and skies to praise the Creator, before turning to the mountains, cedars, and even the clouds and fire. It is a wonderful reminder for any choir or congregation that our singing joins an eternal, universal chorus that is already happening all around us.

Set to a traditional French Noel melody, the music carries a bright, rhythmic energy that perfectly matches the joyful urgency of the words. The tune's steady, marching cadence gives the verses a sense of building momentum. By the time we reach the third verse, calling on "all you nations, rulers and all kings," the hymn feels like a grand procession. It is an excellent choice for a recessional or a general hymn of praise, sending the congregation out with a triumphant declaration that all the earth is His footstool and heaven is His throne.
