HYMN FOR THE SCOTCH KIRK.

O God! who madest earth, sea, air,
And living creatures, free and fair,
Thy hallow'd praise is every where,
Hallelujah!
All blended in the swelling song,
Are wise and simple, weak and strong,
Sweet woman's voice and infant's tongue,
Hallelujah!
Yea, woods, and winds, and waves convey
To the rapt ear a hymn, and say
“Him who hath made us we obey,
Hallelujah!”
