1 Let every creature join To praise th' eternal God; Ye heavenly hosts, the song begin, And sound his Name abroad.
2 Thou sun with golden beams, And moon with paler rays; Ye starry lights, ye twinkling flames, Shine to your Maker's praise.
3 He built those worlds above, And fix'd their wondrous frame; By his command they stand or move, And ever speak his Name.
4 Ye vapours, when ye rise, Or fall in showers, or snow, Ye thunders, murmuring round the skies, His power and glory show.
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 exprest; But saints that taste his saving love Should sing his praises best.
