VIII. “Ye Seas and Floods” | | By Richard Wilton (1827–1903) |
| | O ye Seas and Floods, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever. |
|
YE Seas and Floods, with voice of might | |
| Resound His Name for evermore: | |
| Ye rushing falls, that thunder o’er | |
| The rifted rocks, and daze the sight: | |
| Ye waves that with your crests of white | 5 |
| Incessant dash upon the shore: | |
| Ye Seas and Floods, with voice of might | |
| Resound His Name for evermore. | |
| |
| Ye torrents from the mountain height, | |
| Round your grey boulders dance and roar; | 10 |
| Ye billows on the ocean floor, | |
| Your hands in jubilation smite: | |
| Ye Seas and Floods, with voice of might | |
| Resound His Name for evermore. | | | |
