Those orbs of light which gild the sky,
The Maker’s skill proclaim
While all below and all on high,
Bespeak his wondrous name.
He clothes the verdant fields with grass,
Makes soft the earth with rain,
Creatures with all their numerous race,
From him their food obtain.
The beasts that range the forest o’er,
Or in their coverts hide,
Are not excluded from his care,
Their wants are well supplied.
While grateful they for good possessed,
Their untuned voice raise,
Saints, with superior mercies blessed,
Should give him nobler praise.
