The Spacious Firmament on High

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #283 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, with all the blue ethereal sky, and spangled heavens, a shining frame, their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun from day to day does his Creator's power display, and publishes to every land the work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, the moon takes up the wondrous tale, and nightly to the listening earth repeats the story of its birth; whilst all the stars that round it burn, and all the planets in their turn, confirm the tidings, as they roll and spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though no real voice nor sound amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, and utter forth a glorious voice; forever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine."

He makes the vapors to ascend In clouds from earth’s remotest end; The lightnings flash at His command, He holds the tempest in His hand. 3 Exalt the Lord, His praise proclaim; All ye His servants, praise His Name, Who in the Lord’s house ever stand And humbly serve at His command.
