Hymn Text
Verse 1
Angels holy, high and lowly,
Sing the praises of the Lord,
Earth and sky, all living nature,
Man the stamp of thy Creator,
Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!
Verse 2
Sun and moon bright, Night and noon-light,
Starry temples azure-floored,
Cloud and rain, and wild winds' madness,
Sons of God that shout for gladness,
Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!
Verse 3
Oceans hoary, Tell His glory,
Cliffs, where tumbling seas have roared,
Pulse of waters, blithely beating
Wave advancing, wave retreating,
Praise ye, praise, ye God the Lord
Verse 4
Rock and highland, wood and island,
Crag, where eagles pride hath soared
Mighty mountains, purple breasted,
Peaks cloud-cleaving, snowy crested,
Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!
Verse 5
Rolling river, praise Him ever,
From the mountain's deep vein poured;
Silver fountain, clearly gushing
Troubled torrent, madly rushing,
Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!
Verse 6
Praise Him ever, bounteous Giver!
Praise Him, Father, Friend and Lord!
Each glad soul its free course winging,
Each blithe voice its free song singing
Praise the great and mighty Lord!
