And feeds the ravens when they cry.

With heaven, and earth, and seas,

Of angels bright,
In worlds of light,

2 Thou sun with dazzling rays,
And moon that rules the night,
Shine to your Maker's praise,
With stars of twinkling light
His power declare,
Ye floods on high,
And clouds that fly
In empty air.
3 The shining worlds above
In glorious order stand,
Or in swift courses move,
By his supreme command.
He spake the word,
And all their frame
From nothing came,
To praise the Lord.

And each his word fulfils
While time and nature last.

His wondrous name,
And speak his praise.

Praise ye th' almighty Lord,
And stormy winds that blow
To execute his word.

With lofty cedars there,
And trees of humbler size
That fruit in plenty bear;
Beasts wild and tame,
Birds, flies and worms,
In various forms
Exalt his name.

The Lord the sovereign King;
And while you rule us here,
His heavenly wonders sing;
Nor let the dream
Of power and state
Make you forget
His power supreme.

To sound his praise divine,
While infancy and age
Their feebler voices join:
Wide as he reigns
His name be sung
By every tongue
In endless strains.

The God that rules above;
He brings his people near,
And makes them taste his love:
While earth and sky
Attempt his praise
His saints shall raise
His honours high. Scripture: Psalm 148 Languages: English

Ye live upon his daily food,
And he expects your praise.
10 Ye birds of lofty wing,
On high his praises bear;
Or sit on flowery boughs and sing
Your Maker's glory there.
11 Ye reptile myriads join
T' exalt his glorious name,
And flies in beauteous forms that shine,
His wondrous skill proclaim.

His honours be exprest;
But saints that know his heavenly grace
Should learn to praise him best.

Praise ye th' eternal King;
Judges, adore that sovereign hand,
Whence all your honours spring.

To sound his praises high;
While growing babes and withering age,
Their feebler voices try.
15 United zeal be shown
His wondrous fame to raise;
God is the Lord; his name alone
Deserves our endless praise.
16 Let nature join with art,
And all pronounce him blest,
But saints, that dwell so near his heart
Should sing his praises best.
