O ye Lightnings and Clouds, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
Lightnings and Clouds, in praise of Him
Unfurl your banners in the sky:
Ye Lightnings, let your pennons fly,
Illumining the midnight dim,
Till all the landscape seems to swim
In fire, before the dazzled eye:
Lightnings and Clouds, in praise of Him,
Unfurl your banners in the sky.
Unfurl your banners in the sky:
Ye Lightnings, let your pennons fly,
Illumining the midnight dim,
Till all the landscape seems to swim
In fire, before the dazzled eye:
Lightnings and Clouds, in praise of Him,
Unfurl your banners in the sky.
Ye Clouds, upon the ocean's brim,
In sunset-hues your streamers dye;
Your gold and crimson wave on high
And beautify the horizon's rim:
Lightnings and Clouds, in praise of Him,
Unfurl your banners in the sky.
In sunset-hues your streamers dye;
Your gold and crimson wave on high
And beautify the horizon's rim:
Lightnings and Clouds, in praise of Him,
Unfurl your banners in the sky.
