IV.

Be thou exalted, O my GOD,
Above the heav'ns where angels dwell;
Thy pow'r on earth be known abroad,
And land to land thy wonders tell.

By whofe almighty word
They all from nothing came:
And all fhall last,

From changes free:
His firm decree

Stands ever faft.

IV.

Let earth her tribute pay; Praife him, ye dreadful whales, And fish that thro' the fea

Glide swift with glitt'ring fcales: Fire, hail, and fnow,

And mifty air,

And winds that, where

He bids them, blow.

V.

By hills and mountains (all
In grateful confort join'd),
By cedars ftately tall,

And trees for fruit defign'd;
By ev'ry beaft,

And creeping thing,

And fowl of wing,

His name be bleft.

VI.

Let all of royal birth,

With thofe of humbler frame,

And judges of the earth,

His matchlefs praife proclaim: In this defign

Let youths with maids,

K

And hoary heads

With children join.

VII.

United zeal be fhown,

His wond'rous fame to raise,
Whose glorious name alone
Deferves our endless praife.

Earth's utmost ends
His pow'r obey:
His glorious fway

The sky tranfcends.

Amazing wonders by his pow'r alone:
He by his wifdom spread abroad the sky,
And hung out all the ftarry lamps on high.

III.

He bade the feas divide from folid land,
And made the earth above the waters ftand:
He form'd the fun to blefs the day with light,
The moon to cheer the gloomy face of night.

He for his people needful food provides, Guards all their bleffings, all theirfteps he guides: Thro' fnares and dangers fafely leads them on To blifs immortal, and his heavenly throne,
