Verse 1

ANGELS holy, High and lowly, Sing the praise of the Lord! Earth and sky; all living nature; Man, the stamp of thy Creator, Praise ye, praise ye God the Lord!

Verse 2

Sun and moon bright, Night and noon-light, Starry temples, azure-floored; Cloud and rain, and wild wind’s madness, Sons of God that shout for gladness, Praise ye, praise ye God the Lord!

Verse 3

Ocean hoary, Tell His glory; Cliffs, where tumbling seas have roared, Pulse of waters, blithely beating, Wave advancing, wave retreating, Praise ye, praise ye God the Lord!

Verse 4

Rock and highland, Wood and island, Crag, where eagle’s pride hath soared; Mighty mountains, purple-breasted, Peaks cloud-cleaving, snowy-crested, Praise ye, praise ye God the Lord!

Verse 5

Rolling river, Praise Him ever, From the mountain’s deep vein poured; Silver fountain, clearly gushing, Troubled torrent, madly rushing, Praise ye, praise ye God the Lord!

Verse 6

Praise Him ever, Bounteous giver; Praise, Him, Father, Friend and Lord! Each glad soul its free course winging, Each glad voice its free song singing, Praise the great and mighty Lord!
