LyicsAwake, my tongue; thy tribute bring
To him who gave thee power to sing;
Praise him who is all praise above,
The source of wisdom and of love.
How vast his knowledge! how profound!
A depth where all our thoughts are drowned!
The stars he numbers, and their names
He gives to all those heav'nly flames.
Through each bright world above, behold
Ten thousand thousand charms unfold;
Earth, air, and mighty seas combine
To speak his wisdom all divine.
But in redemption, O, what grace!
It wonders, O, what thought can trace!
Here, wisdom shines forever bright;
Praise him, my soul, with sweet delight.
