Montague 130
Lyrics: Phillip Doddridge
Tune: Timothy Swan
Meter: L.M.D. (8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8)
Ye sons of men with joy record,
The various wonders of the Lord,
And let His pow'r and goodness sound,
Thro' all your tribes the world around.
Let the high heav'ns your songs invite,
Those spacious fields of brilliant light,
Where sun and moon and planets roll,
And stars that glow from pole to pole.
Sing earth, in verdant robes array'd,
Its herbs and flow'rs, its fruits and shade;
Peopl'd with life of various form,
Fishes and fowls, and beasts, and worms.
View the broad sea's majestic plains,
And think how wide its Maker reigns;
That band remotest nations join,
And on each wave his goodness shines.
