415. Heaven and Earth, and Sea and Air

1 Heaven and earth, and sea and air,
All their Maker's praise declare;
Wake, my soul, awake and sing:
Now thy grateful praises bring.

2 See the glorious orb of day
Breaking through the clouds his way;
Moon and stars with silvery light
Praise him through the silent night.

3 See how he hath everywhere
Made this earth so rich and fair;
Hill and vale and fruitful land,
All things living, show his hand.

4 Lord, great wonders workest thou!
To thy sway all creatures bow;
Write thou deeply in my heart
What I am, and what thou art.

Amen.
