Proper MetreA
Praise to God from all creaturesB
-
Ye tribes of Adam joinC
With heav'n and earth and seasD
And offer notes divineE
To your Creator's praiseF
Ye holy throngG
Of angels brightH
In worlds of lightH
Begin the songG
-
Thou sun with dazzling raysF
And moon that rules the nightH
Shine to your Maker's praiseF
With stars of twinkling lightH
His power declareI
Ye floods on highJ
And clouds that flyJ
In empty airI
-
The shining worlds aboveK
In glorious order standL
Or in swift courses moveM
By his supreme commandL
He spake the wordN
And all their frameO
From nothing cameO
To praise the LordP
-
He moved their mighty wheelsQ
In unknown ages pastR
And each his word fulfilsQ
While time and nature lastR
In diff'rent waysQ
His works proclaimO
His wondrous nameO
And speak his praiseQ
-
PAUSEQ
-
Let all the earth born raceQ
And monsters of the deepS
The fish that cleave the seasQ
Or in their bosom sleepS
From sea and shoreT
Their tribute payU
And still displayU
Their Maker's powerA
-
Ye vapors hail and snowV
Praise ye th' almighty LordP
And stormy winds that blowV
To execute his wordN
When lightnings shineE
Or thunders roarT
Let earth adoreT
His hand divineE
-
Ye mountains near the skiesQ
With lofty cedars thereI
And trees of humbler sizeQ
That fruit in plenty bearI
Beasts wild and tameO
Birds flies and wormsQ
In various formsQ
Exalt his nameO
-
Ye kings and judges fearW
The Lord the sovereign KingX
And while you rule us hereY
His heav'nly honors singX
Nor let the dreamZ
Of power and stateA2
Make you forgetB2
His power supremeZ
-
Virgins and youths engageC2
To sound his praise divineE
While infancy and ageC2
Their feebler voices joinC
Wide as he reignsQ
His name be sungD2
By every tongueD2
In endless strainsQ
-
Let all the nations fearW
The God that rules aboveK
He brings his people nearW
And makes them taste his loveK
While earth and skyJ
Attempt his praiseQ
His saints shall raiseQ
His honors highJ
