Original Lyrics

You faithful servants of the Lord, sing out his praise with one accord, while serving him with all your might and keeping vigil through the night.

Unto his house lift up your hand and to the Lord your praises send. May God who made the earth and sky bestow his blessings from on high. Genevan Psalter - Psalms 134
