lirik lagu henry lawes - my soul the great god's praises sings
my soul the great god’s praises sings
circled round with glorious wings
clothed with light, o’er whom the sky
hangs like a starry canopy;
who dwells upon the gliding streams
enamelled with his golden beams
enthroned in clouds as in a chair
he rides in triumph through the air
the winds and flaming element
are on his great ambassage sent
the fabric of the earth shall stand
for aye, built by his powerful hand
the floods that with their wat’ry robe
once covered all this earthly globe
soon as thy thund’ring voice was heard
flеd fast, and straight the hills appeared
thе humble valleys saw the sun
whilst the affrighted waters run
into their channels and no more
shall drown the earth, or pass the shore
along those vales the cool springs flow
and wash the mountains’ feet below;
and on the boughs that shade the spring
the feathered choir shall sit and sing
when on her womb thy dew is shed
the pregnant earth is brought to bed;
and with a fruitful birth increased
yields herbs and grass for man and beast
heart~strengthening bread, care~drowning wine
and oil that makes the sleek face shine
on libanon his cedars stand
trees full of sap, works of his hand
in them the birds their cabins dight;
the fir tree is the stork’s delight
the wild goat on the hills, in cells
of rock the hermit coney dwells
the moon observes her course, the sun
knows when his weary race is done
and when the night her dark veil spreads
the wilder beasts forsake their sheds
the hungry lions hunt for blood
and roaring beg from god their food
the sun returns: these beasts of prey
fly to their dens and from the day
and whilst they in dark caverns lurk
man till the evening goes to work
how full of creatures is the earth
to which thy wisdom gave their birth!
and those that in the wide sea breed
the bounds of numbers far exceed
god’s glory shall for ever stay;
he shall with joy his works survey
the steadfast earth shall shake if he
look down and if the mountains be
touched, they shall smoke. yet still my verse
shall whilst i live his praise rehe~rs~
