4 Let earth her tribute pay: And misty air, And winds that where He bids them blow. 5 By hills and mountains, all, And trees for fruit design'd; And creeping thing, His name be blest, 6 Let all of highest birth, With those of humbler name, His matchless praise proclaim: Let youths with maids, 7 United zeal be shown His wondrous fame to raise, His power obey; His glorious sway The sky transcends. 8 His chosen saints to grace, And favors Israel's race, O therefore raise Your grateful voice, The LORD to praise! 1 O PRAISE the LORD in that blest place 2 Praise him for all the mighty acts 2 With which our praise should equal run. 4 Let them who joyful hymns compose, To cymbals set their songs of praise; To well-tuned cymbals, and to those That loudly sound on solemn days. 5 Let all, that vital breath enjoy, The breath he does to them afford, Let every creature praise the LORD. し THE END.
