CII. Ye Sons of Men with Joy record

1 Ye Sons of Men with Joy record
The various Wonders of the Lord;
And let his Pow'r and Goodness sound
Thro' all your Tribes the World around.
2 Let the high Heav'ns your Songs invite,
Those spacious Fields of brilliant Light;
Where Sun, and Moon, and Planets roll,
And Stars, that shine from Pole to Pole.

3 Sing, Earth, in verdant Robes array'd,
Its Herbs and Flow'rs, its Fruit and Shade;
Peopled with Life of various Forms,
Fishes and Fowls, and Beasts and Worms.
4 View the broad Sea's majestic Plains,
And think how wide its Maker reigns;
That Band remotest Nations joins,
And on each Wave his Goodness shines.

5 But, O that brighter World above,
Where lives and reigns incarnate Love!
GOD's only Son in Flesh array'd,
For Man a bleeding Victim made.
6 Thither, my Soul, with Rapture soar;
There in the Land of Praise adore;
The Theme demands an Angel's Tongue,
Demands a never-ending Song.
