Praise the Lord! ye heav'ns adore him

42 Praise the Lord! ye heav'ns adore him

1 Praise the Lord! ye heav'ns adore him;
   Praise him angels, in the height;
   Sun and moon, rejoice before him;
   Praise him, all ye stars of light.
   Praise the Lord! for he has spoken;
   Worlds his mighty voice obeyed;
   Laws which never shall be broken
   For their guidance he has made.

2 Praise the Lord! for he is glorious;
   Never shall his promise fail;
   God has made his saints victorious;
   Sin and death shall not prevail.
   Praise the God of our salvation!
   Hosts on high his pow'r proclaim;
   Heav'n, and earth, and all creation,
   Laud and magnify his name.
                         Psalm 148

While the Methodist hymnal doesn't list an author,Hymnary.org lists a Richard Mant as the translator from the Latin. They also add a verse:

3 Worship, honor, glory, blessing,
   Lord, we offer unto thee;
   Young and old, thy praise expressing,
   In glad homage bend the knee.
   All the saints in heav'n adore thee,
   We would bow before thy throne;
   As thine angels serve before thee,
   So on earth thy will be done.
