O ye Stars of Heaven, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.

O all ye Stars, that sweep through space,
Your Maker's praises bear along;
Flood Heaven's high dome with ceaseless song,
And shout for joy before God's face:
His power in shining letters trace,
Who keeps you bright and swift and strong:
O all ye Stars, that sweep through space,
Your Maker's praises bear along.
O show me in what favoured place
He sits serene your hosts among,
Upholding all the countless throng,

125

Your Lord and ours—the Man of grace:
O all ye Stars, that sweep through space,
Your Maker's praises bear along.
