1.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
for the greenness of the trees, 
for the beauty of the flowers, 
for the blueness of the sky, 
for the greatness of the sea. 
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord 
now and forevermore. 

2.
Thanks to God, thanks to God 
for the gift of friends in Christ, 
for the church, our house of faith, 
for the gift of wondrous love, 
for the gift of endless grace.
Thanks to God, thanks to God 
now and forevermore. 

3.
Glory to God, glory to God 
for the grace of Christ, the Son, 
for the love of parent God,
for the comfort and the strength 
of the Spirit, holy God. 
Glory to God, glory to God
now and forevermore.
