Hymn

Praise from Heaven and Earth

Metre 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4.

Ye boundless realms of joy,

Exalt your Maker's fame;

His praise your song employ

Above the starry frame:

Your voice raise,

Ye cherubim

And seraphim,

to sing His praise.

Thou moon, that rul'st the night,

And sun, that guid'st the day,

Ye glittering stars of light,

To Him your homage pay:

His praise declare,

Ye heavens above,

And clouds that move

In liquid air.

Let them adore the Lord,

And praise His holy name,

By whose almighty word

They all from nothing came;

And all shall last

From changes free;

His firm decree

Stands over fast.
