Psalm CIV. Fourth Part. Long Metre. The voice of the Creatures proclaiming God

There is a God, all nature speaks, Through earth and air and seas and skies; See, from the clouds, his glory breaks, When the first beams of morning rise!

Behold, the sun serenely bright, O'er the wide world's extended frame, Inscribes in characters of light, His mighty Maker's glorious name.

Diffusing life, his influence spreads, And health and plenty smile around; The fruitful fields and verdant meads Are with a thousand blessings crown'd.

Almighty goodness, power divine, The fields and verdant meads display; And bless the hand which made them shine, With various charms, profusely gay.

For man and beast, here, daily food In wide extensive plenty grows; And, there, for drink, the chrystal flood In streams, sweet winding, gently flows.

By cooling streams and softning showers, The vegetable race are fed; And trees, and plants, and herbs and flowers, Their Maker's constant bounty spread.

Ye curious minds, who roam abroad. And trace creations's wonders o'er; Confess the footsteps of the God, Come bow before him, and adore.
