3 Praise Him, all ye hosts above, Sun and moon, your voices raise; 4 Earth, from all thy depths below, Lightning, vapour, wind and storm, 5 Vales and mountains burst in song; 6 High above all height His throne; 106. L. M. 1 Give to our God immortal praise; 2 Give to the Lord of lords renown, When lords and kings are known no more. 3 He built the earth, He spread the sky, 4 He fills the sun with morning light, When suns and moons shall shine no more. 5 He sent His son with power to save From guilt, and darkness, and the grave; Wonders of grace to God belong, Repeat His mercies in your song. 6 Through this vain world He guides our feet, And leads us to His heavenly seat; His mercies ever shall endure, 107. L. M. 1 When up to nightly skies we gaze, 2 But could we rise to moon or sun, 3 This earth, with all its dust and tears, 4 And is this all that Man can claim ? no more 5 Not this our doom, thou God benign! 6 We view those halls of painted air, Is he whose thoughts to Thine accord. 108. L. M. 1 O source of uncreated light, By whom the worlds were raised from night, Come visit every pious mind; Come pour Thy joys on human kind! 2 Thrice holy fount, thrice holy fire, 3 Refine and purge our earthly parts; 4 Chase from our minds the infernal foe, 5 Make us eternal truths receive, 109. L. M. 1 Father of lights! we sing Thy name, 2 Fountain of good! from Thee proceed Which o'er the hills, and through the mead, 3 Through the wide world Thy bounties spread; Yet numbers of our guilty race, Though by Thy daily bounty fed, 4 Not so may our forgetful hearts 5 So shall our suns more grateful shine, 110. P. M. 1 When Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil; When Summer's balmy showers refresh the mower's toil; When Winter binds in frosty chains the fallow and the flood, In God the Earth rejoiceth still, and owns her Maker good. 2 The birds that wake the morning, and those that love the shade; The winds that sweep the mountain, or lull the drowsy glade; The sun that from his amber bower rejoiceth on his way; The Moon and Stars, their Master's name in silent pomp display. |
