Let earth adore

His hand divine.

XIII.

Ye mountains near the skies,
With lofty cedars there,
And trees of humbler size,
That fruit in plenty bear;
Beasts wild and tame,

Birds, flies and worms,
In various forms,

Exalt his name.

XIV.

Ye kings and judges fear

The LORD, the fov'reign king;
And while you rule us here,

His heav'nly honours fing.
Nor let the dream

Of pow'r and ftare,

Make you forget

His pow'r fupreme.

XV.

Virgins and youths, engage
To found his praise divine,
While infancy and age

Their feebler voices join.
Wide as he reigns
His name be fung,

By ev'ry tongue,

In endless strains,

XVI.

Let all the nations fear

The GOD who rules above;

He brings his people near,

And makes them tafte his love:
While earth and sky,
Attempt his praife,
His faints fhall raife

His honours high.

By whofe all-forming hand alone
Was rais'd from duft our mortal frame;
We are his flock, he doth us own.
III.

Approach with loud thanksgiving fongs,
The portals of his courts divine,
Laud him to whom all pow'r belongs,
And to his name your praises join.

For good and gracious is the LORD,
His flowing mercy knows no end':
The truth of his moft facred word
ages fhall extend.

To endless

Common Metre.

I.

THE glories of our maker GOD
Our joyful tongues shall fing;

And call the nations to adore

Their former, and their king.

II.

'Twas his great hand that fhap'd our clay,
And wrought this wond'rous frame:
But from his own celeftial breath
Our nobler fpirits came.

III.

We bring our mortal powers to GOD,
And worship with our tongues:
We claim fome kindred with the skies,
And join the heavenly fongs.

IV.

Let beasts which in the paftures feed,

Or in the defarts lie;
Fishes that move within the feas

And fowls beneath the sky.

V.

Let rocks, and woods, and fires and feas,

Their various tribute bring;

And one united homage raise

To GOD, all nature's king.

VI.

Ye planets to his honour shine,
As thro' your orbs you run;

The fun to rule the day;

The moon fhines full at his command,
And all the ftars obey.

That fill'd the earth with food:

He form'd the creatures with his word, And then pronounc'd them good.

IV.

LORD, how thy wonders are difplay'd

Where'er I turn mine

eye!
