Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGHG IGIG JKJK ILMG NONO PIPI| Hail Power Divine who by thy sole command | A |
| From the dark empty space | B |
| Made the broad sea and solid land | A |
| Smile with a heavenly grace | B |
| - | |
| Made the high mountain and firm rock | C |
| Where bleating cattle stray | D |
| And the strong stately spreading oak | E |
| That intercepts the day | D |
| - | |
| The rolling planets thou madest move | F |
| By thy effective will | G |
| And the revolving globes above | H |
| Their destined cours fulfil | G |
| - | |
| His mighty power ye thunders praise | I |
| As through the heavens ye roll | G |
| And his great name ye lightnings blaze | I |
| Unto the distant pole | G |
| - | |
| Ye seas in your eternal roar | J |
| His sacred praise proclaim | K |
| While the inactive sluggish shore | J |
| Re echoes to the same | K |
| - | |
| Ye howling winds howl out his praise | I |
| And make the forests bow | L |
| While through the air the earth and seas | M |
| His solemn praise ye blow | G |
| - | |
| O yon high harmonious spheres | N |
| Your powerful mover sing | O |
| To him your circling course that steers | N |
| Your tuneful praises bring | O |
| - | |
| Ungrateful mortals catch the sound | P |
| And in your numerous lays | I |
| To all the listening world around | P |
| The God of nature praise | I |
