X.

This day be bread and peace my lot;
All elfe beneath the fun

Thou know'ft if beft beftow'd or not,
And let thy will be done,

XI.

To thee whofe temple is all space,
Whofe altar, earth, fea, fkies,
One chorus let all beings raife!
All nature's incense rise.

PSALM CL.

Univerfal Praife.

Proper Tune.

I.

Azure vaults! O crystal sky!
The world's transparent canopy,

Break your long filence, and let mortals know,
With what contempt you look on things below.

II.

O light! the faireft, first of things, From whom all joy, all beauty fprings, Praise the almighty ruler of the globe Who ufeth thee for his imperial robe.

III.

Thou radiant fun! whofe glorious ray Rules the bright empire of the day: Opraise his name, without whofe purer light Thou hadft been hid in an abyfs of night.

IV.

Ye moon and planets! who difpence
By GOD's command, your influence:

Vaft ever-moving orbs; exalt his name
Who gave its being to each glorious frame.

V.

Ye mists and vapours, hail and snow, And you who thro' the concave blow Swift executors of his holy word,

Whirlwinds, and tempefts, praife th' almighty LORD.

VI.

Mountains, who to your maker's view Are less than mole-hills feem to you, Praise him, who did all forms from chaos draw, Him whofe command is univerfal law.

VII.

Praise him ye monsters of the deep
That in the fea's vast bofom fleep!
At whofe command the foaming billows roar,
Yet know their limits, tremble, and adore.

VIII.

Let the wide world his praifes fing,
From whom their various bleffings fpring,
Let echoing anthems make his praises known
On earth, his footstool, as in heaven his throne..
