1 With Songs and Honours sounding loud,
Address the Lord on high;
Over the Heav'ns he spreads his Cloud,
And Waters veil the Sky.
2 He sends his Show'rs of Blessings down
To chear the Plains below;
He makes the Grass the Mountains crown,
And Corn in Vallies grow.
3 He gives the grazing Ox his Meat,
He hears the Ravens cry;
But Man who tastes his finest Wheat,
Should raise his Honours high.
4 His steady Counsels change the Face
Of the declining Year;
He bids the Sun cut short his Race,
And wint'ry Days appear.
5 His hoary Frost, his fleecy Snow,
Descend and clothe the Ground;
The liquid Streams forbear to flow,
In icy Fetters bound.
6 When from the dreadful Stores on high
He pours the rattling Hail,
The Wretch that dares this GOD defy
Shall find his Courage fail.
7 He sends his Word, and melts the Snow,
The Fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer Gales to blow,
And bids the Spring return.
8 The changing Wind, the flying Cloud,
Obey his mighty Word;
With Songs and Honours sounding loud,
Praise ye the sov'reign Lord.
