Heaven and earth and sea and air, God's eternal praise declare

Verse 1

Heaven and earth and sea and air God's eternal praise declare; Up, my soul, awake and raise Grateful hymns and songs of praise. See the sun with glorious ray Pierce the clouds at opening day; Moon and stars in splendor bright Praise their God through silent night.

Verse 2

See how earth, with beauty checked, Tells a heavenly Architect; Woods and fields, with lowing kine, Show their Maker all divine. See the birds, how, pair by pair, Swift they cleave the yielding air; Thunder, lightning, storm, and wind God doth at his will unbind.

Verse 3

See the billows tumbling o'er, Chafing with incessant roar; Hear them as thy sink and swell Loud their Maker's praises tell. Through the world, great God, I trace Wonders of thy power and grace. Write more deeply on my heart What I am, and that thou art.
