Part III. an Inquiry Into the Case of Children, with an Exhortation to Them, Psalm CXLVIII

A Universal shout of joy, Now to Jehovah bring, Ye heav'ns high, ye angels all, Unite his praise to sing.

Praise him ye sun, and moon, and stars, Ye heaven of heavens too, And waters that above them are, For he created you.

His glorious power, his arm of might, Upholds you where you are; By his established decree, You ever stand fast there.

Let dragons, deeps, and cattle all, Praise him from earth below; Fire, hail and vapor, join herein, With stormy wind and snow.

Let mountains praise, and all the hills. And fowls of every wing, The fruitful trees, and cedars all, And ev'ry creeping thing.

Come and agree his name to praise, Ye Kings of noble birth, Together with each one that makes All people of the earth.

Princes to him by whom you rule, Your grateful homage bring; And all the Judges of the earth, Praise our Almighty King.

Both young men and the maidens too, Old men and children small, In consort here most gladly join, His praise becomes you all.

Come one and all unite to praise, The Lord's exalted name; In which his glory is above Both earth and heaven's frame.

This is the name that Jesus hath, Above each name always, That in his name each knee should bow, And tongue confess his praise.

Thus he exalts his people's horn, That's raised up for us, E'en our salvation's mighty horn, In's servant David's house.

He is the subject of the praise, Of all with one accord, His saints, his Israel, near to him, O then praise ye the Lord.
