Greatest Of Beings, Source Of Life;
Sovereign Of Air, And Earth, And Sea!
All Nature Feels Thy Power, And All
A Silent Homage Pay To Thee.
Waked By Thy Hand, The Morning Sun
Pours Forth To Thee Its Earlier Rays,
And Spreads Thy Glories As It Climbs;
While Raptured Worlds Look Up And Praise.
The Moon, To The Deep Shades Of Night,
Speaks The Mild Luster Of Thy Name;
While All The Stars, That Cheer The Scene,
Thee, The Great Lord Of Light, Proclaim.
And Groves And Vales, And Rocks And Hills,
And Every Flower, And Every Tree,
Ten Thousand Creatures, Warm With Life,
Have Each A Grateful Song For Thee.
But Man Was Formed To Rise To Heaven;
And, Blest With Reason’s Clearer Light,
He Views His Maker Through His Works,
And Glows With Rapture At The Sight.
Nor Can The Thousand Songs That Rise,
Whether From Air, Or Earth, Or Sea,
So Well Repeat Jehovah’s Praise,
Or Raise Such Sacred Harmony.
