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.
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 magnifie The Lord's great name.
7 Ye clouds and showers of rain, And earth-refreshing dew; Which do its store maintain, And all its fruits renew. To all mens sense, Of us God's care, You do declare, And providence.
8 Ye unseen winds that blow When and where God commands, Moving the air below, Both over sea and lands; The Lord most high, Your unknown course, And potent force Do magnify.
