Lyics

The earth, and seas, and skies, O God!

To thee attune their hymn,

To thee attune their hymn:

All wise, all holy, thou art praised

In songs of seraphim,

In songs of seraphim,

In songs of seraphim,

In songs of seraphim,

In songs of seraphim,

In songs of seraphim,

In songs of seraphim.



Unnumbered systems, suns, and worlds,

Unite to worship thee;

While thy majestic greatness fills

Space, time, eternity.



Nature-a temple worthy thee!

That beams with light and love,

Whose flowers so sweetly bloom below,

Whose stars rejoice above;



Whose altars are the mountain cliffs,

That rise along the shore,

Whose anthems the sublime accord

Of storm and ocean's roar.



Her song of gratitude is sung

By spring's awakening hours;

Her autumn offers at thy shrine

Its earliest, loveliest flowers;



Her summer brings it ripened fruits,

In glorious luxury given;

While winter's silver heights reflect

Thy brightness back to heaven.



The earth, and seas, and skies, O God!

To thee attune their hymn:

All wise, all holy, thou art praised

In songs of seraphim.
