I. “O all ye Works of God” | | By Richard Wilton (1827–1903) |
| | O all ye Works of the Lord; bless ye the Lord, praise Him and magnify Him for ever. |
|
O ALL ye Works of God most High, | |
| Bless ye the Lord and praise His Name; | |
| Whose hand has built this goodly frame | |
| Of emerald earth and sapphire sky; | |
| And fashioned man to magnify | 5 |
| His love, and spread abroad His fame: | |
| O all ye Works of God most High, | |
| Bless ye the Lord and praise His Name. | |
| |
| Ye mighty suns through space that fly, | |
| Ye glow-worms with your tiny flame, | 10 |
| From the same source of light ye came | |
| To shine before your Maker’s eye: | |
| O all ye Works of God most High, | |
| Bless ye the Lord and praise His Name. | | | |
