O ye Sun and Moon, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.

O Sun and Moon, dispense His praise,
Shine to His glory day and night:
Sun, bless Him when thy chariot bright
Ascends the high cerulean ways—
Bless Him with evening's crimson rays,
Bless Him with morning's golden light:
O Sun and Moon, dispense His praise,
Shine to His glory day and night.
O Moon, amid the starry maze
That dances round thee, sing His might;
Or, curtained in pavilion white
Of fleecy cloud, or circling haze:
O Sun and Moon, dispense His praise,
Sing to His glory day and night.
