Ye Tribes of Adam, Join
}
Ye tribes of Adam, join
With heav'n, and earth, and seas,
And offer notes divine
To your Creator's praise.
Ye holy throng of angels bright,
In worlds of light,
Begin the song.
Thou sun with dazzling rays,
And moon that rules the night,
Shine to your Maker's praise,
With stars of twinkling light.
His power declare,
Ye floods on high,
And clouds that fly
In empty air.
The singing worlds above
In glorious order stand,
Or in swift courses move,
By His supreme command.
He spake the word,
And all their frame
From nothing came
To praise the Lord.
He moved their mighty wheels
In unknown ages past,
And each His word fulfils,
While time and nature lasts.
In different ways
His works proclaim
His wondrous name,
and speak His praise.
