Praise the Lord Praise the Lord for having been born
Praise Him more for having to die
Praise Him for the rose and the thorn
Praise the Lord for both truth and lie
Praise the Lord for a new born child
Praise Him more for ev'ry child's death
Praise Him for all things tame or wild
Praise the Lord with your last breath
Praise the Lord for the saint and sinner
Praise Him more for good and evil
Praise Him for looser and winner
Praise the Lord for sense and drivel
Praise the Lord for tears and laughter
Praise Him more for sickness and health
Praise Him too before and after
Praise the Lord for poorness and wealth
Praise the Lord for His salvation
Praise Him more for the soul that's well
Praise Him too for His damnation
Praise the Lord for the soul that fell
Praise the Lord for folly 'n reason
Praise Him more for Heaven 'n Hell
Praise Him for Angel 'n Demon
Praise the Lord and your fear dispel
Praise the Lord for both right and wrong
Praise Him more for all that you see
Praise Him with a sob or a song
Praise the Lord the slave and the free
Praise the Lord that He was a Jew
Praise Him more that He wrote the Books
Praise Him though He said nothing new
Praise the Lord, the Master of crooks
