Acclaim the Lord, you heavenly powers

1. Acclaim the Lord, you heavenly powers, acclaim the Lord in strength, in might; acclaim the Lord's all-glorious name: adore the Lord in dazzling light. 2. His voice across the deep resounds, his voice, through howling wind and sea; his voice, compelling in its power, his voice commands in majesty. 3. His voice splits open cedar trees, the mightiest oaks to matchwood break; the sturdiest hilltops lurch and roll, the ancient mountain ranges quake. 4. His voice convulses desert crags; his voice: the lightning's sounding board. Let all creation in reply sing "Holy, holy, holy Lord!" 5. The Lord sits throned across the years, enthroned above primeval seas. We pray you, Lord, grant us your strength; we pray you, Lord, bless us with peace.

Based closely on Psalm 29.
