"ALL THY WORKS PRAISE THEE,
Light and Darkness.

I am God's dwelling-place,—
I am God's dwelling-place,—And also I
Make His pavilion,—
Make His pavilion,—Lo, we bide and fly
Exulting in the Will of God Most High.

Lightning and Thunder.

We indivisible flash forth His Fame,
We thunder forth the glory of His Name,
In harmony of resonance and flame.

Clouds.

Sweet is our store, exhaled from sea or river:
We wear a rainbow, praising God the Giver
Because His mercy is for ever and ever.

Earth.

I rest in Him rejoicing: resting so
And so rejoicing, in that I am low;
Yet known of Him, and following on to know.

Mountains.

Our heights which laud Him, sink abased before
Him higher than the highest evermore:
God higher than the highest we adore.
