1 See all creation join
To praise th'eternal God;
The heavenly hosts begin the song,
And sound his name abroad.
2 The sun with golden beams,
And moon with silver rays;
The starry lights, and twinkling flames;
Shine to their Maker's praise,
3 He built those worlds above,
And fixed their wondrous frame;
By his command they stand or move,
And always speak his name.
4 The fleecy clouds that rise,
Or falling show'rs, or snow;
The thunders rolling round the skies,
His pow'r and glory show.
5 The broad expanse on high,
With all the heav'ns afford;
The crinkling fire that streaks the sky,
Unite to praise the Lord.
But Saints that know his endless love,
Should sing his praises best.
