Let All the Peoples Praise You

Price range: $30.00 through $50.00

This anthem was commissioned for the 2001 inauguration of Dr. Bruce Murphy as president of Northwestern College in Iowa. The lyrics are adapted from Psalm 67— a perfect Psalm of thanksgiving for a fall worship ceremony in the heartland of America.

Note that this piece is for advanced choir, brass quintet, organ, and percussion. It is challenging, but exhilarating.

Let the peoples praise you, O Lord.
Let all the peoples praise you.

May God be gracious to us and bless us.
May his face shine upon us
and his fire burn within us.
That your way may be known on earth,
That your salvation may light all the nations.

Let the peoples praise you, O Lord.
Let all the peoples praise you.

May the nations burst forth in songs of joy.
May the nations burst forth in songs of joy.
O Lord, may the nations burst forth in song.
For you, O Lord, are righteous in your judgments,
Gracious in your guidance.

Let the peoples praise you, O Lord.
Let all the peoples praise you.

The earth brings forth her harvest.
The Lord our God, the Lord, he has blessed us.
May he always bless us.
May the whole world live in the light,
The light of his goodness, of his goodness.

Let the peoples praise you, O Lord.
Let all the peoples praise you.
