O ye Fire and Heat, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
Bless ye the Lord, O Fire and Heat,
And spread your Maker's fame on high:
From yon vast furnace in the sky
His praise with throbbing pulses beat;
And borne on unseen pinions fleet
To each remotest planet fly:
Bless ye the Lord, O Fire and Heat,
And spread your Maker's fame on high.
And spread your Maker's fame on high:
From yon vast furnace in the sky
His praise with throbbing pulses beat;
And borne on unseen pinions fleet
To each remotest planet fly:
Bless ye the Lord, O Fire and Heat,
And spread your Maker's fame on high.
Life flushes forth beneath your feet
And verdure to delight the eye:
All Nature, wanting you, must die:
All worlds your vital presence greet:
Bless ye the Lord, O Fire and Heat,
And spread your Maker's fame on high.
And verdure to delight the eye:
All Nature, wanting you, must die:
All worlds your vital presence greet:
Bless ye the Lord, O Fire and Heat,
And spread your Maker's fame on high.
