PRAISE ye the Lord! on every height Songs to His glory raise! Ye angel-hosts, ye stars of night, Join in immortal praise! O heaven of heavens! let praise far-swelling From all thine orbs be sent! Join in the strain, ye waters, dwelling Above the firmament! For His the word which gave you birth, And majesty, and might: Praise to the Highest from the earth, And let the deeps unite! O fire and vapour, hail and snow, Ye servants of His will; O stormy winds, that only blow His mandates to fulfil; Mountains and rocks, to heaven that rise Fair cedars of the wood; Creatures of life, that wing the skies, Or track the plains for food; Judges of nations! kings, whose hand Waves the proud sceptre high! O youths and virgins of the land; O age and infancy; Praise ye His name, to whom alone All homage should be given; Whose glory from the eternal throne Spreads wide o'er earth and heaven! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...1914: 5.
