Hymnal: Laudes Domini #157 (1884) First Line: With songs and honors sounding loud Lyrics: 1 With songs and honors sounding loud,
Address the Lord on high;
Over the heavens he spreads his cloud,
And waters vail the sky.
He sends his showers of blessing down,
To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in valleys grow.
2 His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race,
And wintry days appear.
His hoary frost, his fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the ground;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.
3 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.
The changing wind, the flying cloud,
Obey his mighty Word:
With songs and honors sounding loud,
Praise ye the sovereign Lord.
