4 [Awake, ye tempests, and his fame, 5 Let clouds, and winds, and waves agree 6 Ye flowery plains, proclaim his skill; 8 Birds, ye must make his praise your theme; Nature demands a song from you; While the dumb fish, that cut the stream, Leap up and mean his praises too.] -9 Mortals, can you refrain your tongue, e When nature all around you sings; u O for a shout-from old and young,From humble swains, and lofty kings. g 10 Wide-as his vast dominion liesMake the Creator's name be known: u Loud-as his thunder-shout his praise, g And sound it lofty-as his throne. e 11 JEHOVAH'tis a glorious wordO may it dwell on every tongue! o But saints, who best have known the Lord, Are bound to raise the noblest song. o 12 Speak of the wonders of that love, Which Gabriel plays on every chord! u From all below and all above, Loud hallelujahs to the Lord. S. M. St. Thomas's. [*] Universal Praise. 1LET every creature join To praise th' eternal God; Ye heavenly hosts, the song begin, 2 Thou sun, with golden beams, 3 He built those worlds above, 4 Ye vapours, when you rise, Ye thunders, murmuring round the skies, 5 Wind, hail, and flashing fire, Agree to praise the Lord,When ye in dreadful storms conspire, To execute his word. 6 By all his works above His honours be expressed; PAUSE I. 7 [Let earth and ocean know, 8 From mountains near the sky, 9 Ye lions of the wood, And tamer beasts that graze, Ye live upon his daily food, 10 Ye birds of lofty wing, Or sit on flowery boughs, and sing 11 Ye creeping ants and worms, And flies in all your shining swarms, 12 By all the earth-born race, But saints, who know his heavenly grace, PAUSE II. 13 Monarchs of wide command, 15 United zeal be shown His wondrous fame to raise : 16 Let nature join with art, But saints, who dwell so near his heart, PSALM 149. C. M. Arundel. [*] The Saints judging the World. ALL ye who love the Lord, rejoice, And let your songs be new; Amidst the church, with cheerful voice, 2 The Jews, the people of his grace, 3 The Lord takes pleasure in the just, -4 Saints should be joyful in their King, And, like the souls in glory, sing For God shall raise the dead. 5 Then his high praise shall fill their tongues, Their hands shall wield the sword. And vengeance shall attend their songs,— g 6 When Christ his judgment seat ascends, Thrones are prepared for all his friends, 7 [Then shall they rule, with iron rod, And join the sentence of their God, 8 The royal sinners, bound in chains, Such honour for the saints remains :- PSALM 150.
