Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
ye clouds that sail in heaven along,

ye lights of evening, find a voice:

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

And all ye men of tender heart,
Forgiving others, take your part,
O sing ye, hallelujah!

praise God and on Him cast your care:

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

Let all things their Creator bless,
and worship Him in humbleness,
O praise Him, hallelujah!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
and praise the Spirit, Three-in-One:
Chorus
O praise him, O praise him,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
