O ye Waters that be above the firmament, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
Ye watery Clouds, His praises bear,
Where'er ye float o'er sea and land;
Pile up your fleecy masses grand—
Your snowy castles in the air:
And God's artillery prepare
To thunder forth at His command:
Ye watery Clouds, His praises bear,
Where'er ye float o'er sea and land.
Where'er ye float o'er sea and land;
Pile up your fleecy masses grand—
Your snowy castles in the air:
123
To thunder forth at His command:
Ye watery Clouds, His praises bear,
Where'er ye float o'er sea and land.
Rain down your largess everywhere
O'er field and wood with lavish hand;
Till touched, as with a magic wand,
All earth a radiant garland wear:
Ye watery Clouds, His praises bear,
Where'er ye float o'er sea and land.
O'er field and wood with lavish hand;
Till touched, as with a magic wand,
All earth a radiant garland wear:
Ye watery Clouds, His praises bear,
Where'er ye float o'er sea and land.
