Your voices raise, Ye Cherubim And Seraphim, To sing his praise. 2 Thou moon, that rul'st the night, Ye heavens above, 3 Let them adore the LORD, Stands ever fast. 4 Let earth her tribute pay: And misty air, And winds that where He bids them blow. 5 By hills and mountains, all And trees for fruit design'd; 6 Let all of highest birth, His matchless praise proclaim: With children, join. 7 United zeal be shown His wondrous fame to raise, The sky transcends. 8 His chosen saints to grace, From the cxlix. Psalm of David. 1 O PRAISE ye the LORD, Be glad in their King. 2 Let them his great Name 3 With glory adorn'd, From the cl. Psalm of David. 1 O PRAISE the LORD in that blest place From whence his goodness largely flows; Praise him in heaven, where he his face, Unveil'd, in perfect glory shows. 2 Praise him for all the mighty acts Which he in our behalf has done; His kindness this return exacts, With which our praise should equal run. 3 Let the shrill trumpet's warlike voice Make rocks and hills his praise rebound Praise him with harp's melodious noise And gentle psalt'ry's silver sound. 4 Let them who joyful hymns compose, To cymbals set their songs of praise; To well-tuned cymbals, and to those That loudly sound on solemn days. 5 Let all, that vital breath enjoy, The breath he does to them afford In just returns of praise employ: Let every creature praise the LORD!
