Eve and Adam
By thee with bliss, O bounteous Lord, the heav'n and earth are stor'd. This world, so great, so wonderful, thy mighty hand has fram'd.

Chorus
For ever blessed be His pow'r! His name be ever magnified!

Adam
Of stars the fairest, O how sweet thy smile at dawning morn! How brighten'st thou, O sun, the day, thou eye and soul of all!

Chorus
Proclaim in your extended course th'almighty pow'r and praise of God!

Eve
And thou, that rules the silent night, and all ye starry host, spread wide and ev'rywhere His praise in choral songs about!

Adam
Ye strong and cumbrous elements, who ceaseless changes make, ye dusky mists and dewy steams, who raise and fall thro' th'air,

Eve, adam and Chorus
resound the praise of God our Lord! Great His name, and great His might.

Eve
Ye purling gountains tune His praise, and wave your tops, ye pines! Ye plants exhale, ye flowers breathe at Him your balmy scent!

Adam
Ye that on mountains stately tread, and ye, that lowly creep, ye birds, that sing at heaven's gate, and ye, that swim the stream,

Eve, Adam and Chorus
ye living souls extol the Lord! Him celebrate, Him magnifiy!

Eve and Adam
Ye valleys, hills, and shady woods, our raptur'd notes ye heard; from morn to ev'n you shall repeat our grateful hymns of praise.

Chorus
Hail bouteous Lord! Almighty hail! Thy word call'd forth this wond'rous frame. Thy pow'r adore the heav'n and earth; we praise thee now and evermore.
