Alfred H. Miles, ed. The Sacred Poets of the Nineteenth Century. 1907. | | Benedicite (Selected Rondels). VIII. Ye Seas and Floods | By Richard Wilton (18271903) |
| 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 oer | |
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. | | |
