Praise the Lord warmly
All His people!
Praise Him, ye revelers in the sun
And seekers of the shade.
Praise Him in gentle breezes
Bearing smells of yesteryear
And swell with hope for tomorrow
Ye quickened hearts.
Praise Him with sound of lawnmower
And crack of baseball bat.
Raise unto Him the tang of mulch
Mingled with incense of box elder.
Tweet unto Him, ye songbirds
Shower Him with velvet petals
Ye flowering trees.
Feast on His presence
In froufrou of forsythia
All His creatures.
Chirp in contentment, ye crickets.
Rest in Him
All His children
In cool starriness of night.
Praise the Lord
All the earth!
