Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of Creation!O my soul praise him, for he is thy health and salvation!

All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near;join me in glad adoration.

Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigningbears thee on eagle’s wings, e’er in his keeping maintaining.

God’s care enfolds all, whose true good he upholds.Hast thou not known his sustaining?

Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.

Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,who with his love doth befriend thee.

Praise to the Lord, who doth nourish thy life and restore thee, fitting thee well for the tasks that are ever before thee.

Then to thy need God as a mother doth speed,spreading the wings of grace o’er thee.

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before him!

Let the amen sound from his people again;Gladly forever adore him.

born of the Virgin Mary,suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, dead, and buried;*

Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore

Lord, you have come to the lakeshorelooking neither for wealthy nor wise ones.you only asked me to follow humbly.

O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me,

and while smiling have spoken my name;

now my boats left on the shoreline behind me;

by your side I will seek other seas.

You know so well my possessions;

my boat carries no gold and no weapons.

you will find there my nets and labor.

O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me,

and while smiling have spoken my name;

now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me;

by your side I will seek other seas.

You need my hands, full of caring

through my labors to give others rest

and constant love, that keeps on loving.

O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me,

and while smiling have spoken my name;

now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me;

by your side I will seek other seas.

You, who have fished other oceans

ever longed for by souls who are waiting,

my loving friend, as thus you call me.

O Lord, with your eyes you have searched me,

and while smiling have spoken my name;

now my boat’s left on the shoreline behind me;

by your side I will seek other seas.
