The moonbenms on the billowy deep,
The blue waves rppling on the strand,
The ocean in its peaceful sleep,
The shell thai murmurs on The sand
TIE cloud that dims the bending sky,
The bow that on its bosom CLOVIS,
The sun that lights the vault on hph.
The stars nj midnight's calm reposc;
These praise the power that arched the sky,
And robed the earth in beauty's dye.
The melody of Natures choir
The deep. toned anthems cf the sea,
The wind that turns a viewless Tyre,
The zephyr on its pinions free,
The thunder with lis thrilling notes,
The peal upon the mountain air,
The lay that through the foliage floats,
Or sinks in dying cadence there;
These all to Thee their voices raise
A lerrent voice OF gushing praise.
The dav star, herald Of the dawn,
As The dark shadows fit away,
The tint upon the cheek vi morn,
The dew-drop cleaning on the spray,
F:om wild birds in their wandeiiugs,
From streamleis leaping IL The sea,
From all eatth's fair and lovely things,
Doth living praise ascend 10 Thee;
These, with their silent tongues proclaim,
The varied wonders of Thy name.
Father, Thy hand hath formed the flower,
And flung il on the verdant lea,
Thou badst ii ope AT summers hour;
It's hues of beauty speak of Thee
Thy works nil praise Thcr,-shall not man
Alike a,tnne the grateful hymn?
Shall he not Jain the lofty strain,
Echoed from heart of scraphm?
We tune 10 Thee our humble lays,
Thy mercy, goodness, love. We praise.
