O ye Heavens, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
Ye Heavens, with your encircling blue,
Prepare a temple for His praise;
An azure dome of song upraise,
Distilling music like the dew;
Let angels warble out of view,
And men reply with gladsome lays:
Ye Heavens, with your encircling blue,
Prepare a temple for His praise.
Prepare a temple for His praise;
An azure dome of song upraise,
Distilling music like the dew;
Let angels warble out of view,
And men reply with gladsome lays:
Ye Heavens, with your encircling blue,
Prepare a temple for His praise.
Ye larks, to rosy dawn be true,
Ascending your melodious ways;
Ye linnets, charm the listening days,
And nightingales, the strain renew:
Ye Heavens, with your encircling blue,
Prepare a temple for His praise.
Ascending your melodious ways;
Ye linnets, charm the listening days,
And nightingales, the strain renew:
Ye Heavens, with your encircling blue,
Prepare a temple for His praise.
