From Psalm 148
Tune: PRAISE JEHOVAH
Praise the Lord, sing hallelujah,
From the heavens praise His name;
Praise the Lord, our great Creator;
All His angels, praise proclaim.
All His hosts, together praise Him,
Sun and moon and stars on high;
Praise the Lord, O heav’n of heavens,
And the clouds that roam the sky.
Let them praise the Lord their Maker,
They were made at his command;
God established them forever;
His decree shall ever stand.
Let the earth sing Hallelujah:
Raging seas and creatures all,
Fire and hail and snow and tempests,
Stormy winds that hear His call.
All the fruitful trees and cedars,
Ev’ry hill and mountain high,
Creeping things and beasts and cattle,
Birds that in the heavens fly,
Kings of earth, and all the people,
Princes great, earth’s judges all;
Praise His name, young men and maidens,
Aged men, and children small.
Refrain
Praise the Lord, sing hallelujah,
For His name alone is high,
And His glory is exalted,
Far above the earth and sky.

The chapel in Sibley Hospital, Washington, DC., has a series of stained glass windows, covering the whole east wall, which depict the various words and phrases of this Psalm. It’s beautiful. Back in the 70s, when I worked there, I would often arrive at the hospital purposefully very early in the morning so I could sit in the chapel and watch the rising sun shine through those windows as I meditated on the Psalm.
Amen to your good report. It is good to reflect on the good things God has done.
