HYMN 99.

Praise the Lord, whose mighty wonders
Earth, and air, and seas display;
Him, who high in tempests thunders,
Him, whom countless worlds obey.
In the eastern skies ascending,
Praise Him, glorious orb of day;
Ocean, round the world extending,
Praise Him o'er thy boundless way.

Pines that crown the lofty mountains,
Bow in sign of worship low;
All ye secret springs and fountains,
Warble praises as ye flow.
Beasts, through nature's drear dominions,
Praise Him where the wilds extend;
Praise Him, birds, whose sounding pinions
Up to Heaven's gate ascend.

Man below, the Lord of nature,
Angel choirs in realms above,
Hymning, praise the great Creator,
Praise th' eternal Fount of Love.
Teach us, Lord, to sing Thy glory,
Till in Heav'n we take our place;
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
