Praise the Lord in the rhythm of your music,praise the Lord in the freedom of your dance,

praise the Lord in the country and the city,praise him in the living of your life!

Praise the Lord on the organ and piano,praise the Lord on guitar and on the drums,

praise the Lord on the tambourineand cymbals,

praise him in the singing of your song!

Praise the Lord with the movement

of your bodies,praise the Lord

with the clapping of your hands,

praise the Lord with your poetry and painting,

praise him in the acting of your play!

Praise the Lord in the feeding of

the hungry,praise the Lord in the healing of

disease,praise the Lord as you show his love in action,praise him in

your caring for the poor!

Praise the Lord, every nation, every people,praise the Lord, men and women,

old and young,praise the Lord, let us celebrate together,

praise him, everything in heaven and earth!
