[With songs and honours sounding loud]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

With songs and honours sounding loud,
Address the Lord on high,
Over the heav'ns he spreads his clouds,
And waters veil the sky.
He sends his showrs of blessings down
To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in valleys grow.
