A Simple Song (1971)
Music by Leonard Bernstein
Text by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Schwartz

Sing God a simple song:
Lauda, Laude…
Make it up as you go along:
Lauda, Laude…
Sing like you like ot sing.
God loves all simple things,
For God is the simplest of all.

I will sing the Lord a new song
To praise Him, to bless Him, to bless the Lord.
I will sing His praises while I live.
All of my days.

Blessed is the man who loves the Lord,
Blessed is the man who praises Him.
Lauda, Lauda, Laude…
And walks His ways.

I will lift up my eyes
To the hills from whence comes my help.
I will lift up my voice to the Lord
Singing Lauda, Laude.
For the Lord is my shade,
Is the shade up on my right hand,
And the sun shall not smite me by day
Nor the moon by night.

Blessed is the man who loves the Lord,
Lauda, Lauda, Laude…
And walks His ways.
Lauda, Lauda, Laude, Lauda, Lauda di da
di day…
All of my days.
