His hand divine | E |

Ye mountains near the skies | Q |
With lofty cedars there | I |

Beasts wild and tame | O |
Birds flies and worms | Q |
In various forms | Q |
Exalt his name | O |

Ye kings and judges fear | W |
The Lord the sovereign King | X |

Of power and state | A2 |
Make you forget | B2 |
His power supreme | Z |

Their feebler voices join | C |
Wide as he reigns | Q |
His name be sung | D2 |
By every tongue | D2 |
In endless strains | Q |

Let all the nations fear | W |
The God that rules above | K |
He brings his people near | W |
And makes them taste his love | K |

Attempt his praise | Q |
His saints shall raise | Q |
His honors high | J |
