EN 633 To God, the Universal King

Ps.19.1

Versi Version 1

1

To God, the universal King,

Let all mankind their tribute bring;

All that have breath! your voices raise,

In songs of never ending praise.

2

The spacious earth on which we tread,

And wider heavens stretched o’er our head,

A large and solemn temple frame,

To celebrate its Builder’s fame.

3

Here the bright sun, that rules the day,

As through the sky he makes his way,

To all the world proclaims aloud

The boundless sovereignty of God.

4

When from his courts the sun retires,

And with the day his voice expires,

The moon and stars adopt the song,

And through the night the praise prolong.

5

The listening earth with rapture hears

Th’harmonious music of the spheres;

And all her tribes the notes repeat,

That God is wise, and good and great.

6

But man, endowed with nobler powers,

His God in nobler strains adores;

His is the gift to know the song,

As well as sing with tuneful tongue.
