LyicsNature, with all her powers, shall sing
Her great Creator, and her King:
Nor air, nor earth, nor skies, nor seas,
Deny the tribute of their praise.
Ye angels near his radiant throne,
Unite to make his glories known;
Attune your harps, and spread the sound
Throughout creation's utmost bound.
O may our grateful zeal employ
Each power of mind to hymns of joy;
And join, with heart-inspiring songs,
The anthems of angelic tongues.
Yet, gracious God, our feeble frame
Attempts in vain to reach thy name;
The highest notes that angels raise
Fall far below thy glorious praise.
