Doxology

ARTHUR W. SPAULDING

The earth is full of the glory of God: Alleluia!
Shine forth, ye stars that deck the night; Thou moon, thy fulgent rays employ; And praise, thou noonday orb of light, Give praise with all thy splendor bright; Ye hosts of heaven, beam forth your joy: Alleluia!
The mountains and the hills break forth, They clap their hands, they also sing; The forests rock with rapturous mirth; With praise the solitudes do ring: Alleluia!
The elements a voice have heard, Stormy winds fulfil his word: Alleluia!
Cry fire, and hail, and mist, and snow, From deeps above, from deeps below, Alleluia!
The crooked lightning steers its fate Where mock the non-inviolate, While thunders deep reverberate: Alleluia!
And soft the balmy airs caress The timorous bird, the shrinking beast, And light the smiles of God impress The greatest of the earth, and least, That him they may with praise address: Alleluia!
The valleys and the plains rejoice In golden corn and grasses green; Vineyard and orchard lend their voice, And all the flocks that graze between; Honey and milk and fruitage choice, Harvest and store, rejoice, rejoice: Alleluia!
Praise, praise, ye people, praise the Lord! Alleluia!
Ye kings of earth, your homage pay; Ye princes and ye judges, bow; Young men and maidens, children gay, Ye grave of mien, ye old men gray, Come forth, and pay your highest vow; With joy before your Sovereign bow: Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise him, ye seraphim above; Praise him, ye angels of his love; Ye winged spirits of his grace, That day by day behold his face, Sing, sing the rapture that ye know, And lend your joy to earth below; For earth is full of the glory of God: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen!
