3 Ye heavens so high and great, In glory which excel, The blessed holy seat Where Christ and Angels dwell, His praise show forth; Him magnify More gloriously Than we on earth.
3 Ye heav'ns so high and great, In glory which excel, The blessed holy seat Where Christ and Angels dwell, His praise shew forth; Him magnifie More gloriously Than we on earth.
4 Ye unseen Powers above, Which mortals little know; Who under God do move, And rule the things below, Praise ye God's name, As all his will Ye do fulfil, Bless ye the same.
5 Let the great glorious Sun, Earth's mover, life, and light; And the resplendent Moon, Which shines to us by night, God's Glory show, Praise and declare Him whose ye are, To us below.
6 Ye numerous Stars of light, Great Orbs, and glorious all; Though here to Mortals sight By distance ye seem small; Your wondrous frame, So great and high, Doth magnify The Lord's great name.
