LET every creature join and sing To praise the eternal God; Ye heavenly hosts, the song begin, And sound His name abroad.
He made the sun and stars above, And fixed their ordered frame; By His command they stand or move, And ever show His name.
By all His works below, above, His honours are expressed, But they who taste His saving love Should sing His praises best.
Wonder and awe by all be shown, His power and love to raise; God is the Lord, His name alone Deserves our endless praise.
Let nature’s myriad works of art The hand divine attest; But they who live so near His heart, Must sing His praises best.
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748‡
