- 1Come, O my soul, in sacred lays
- Attempt thy great Creator’s praise;
- But O! what tongue can speak His fame?
- What mortal verse can reach the theme?
- 2Enthroned amidst the radiant spheres,
- He glory. like a garment wears;
- To form a robe of light divine,
- Ten thousand suns around Him shine,
- 3In all our Maker’s grand designs,
- Omnipotence with wisdom shines;
- His works, thro’ all this wondrous frame,
- Bear the great impress of His name.
- 4Rais’d on devotion’s lofty wing,
- Do thou, my soul, His glories sing;
- And let His praise employ thy tongue
- Till listening worlds shall join the song.
