God's work declare The glittering Stars which in the Heavens are The Hills the Mountains and the Valleys low The Works of God and his great Power do show The Woods the Trees the Bushes and the Bowers The Herbs the Grass and all the Garden Flowers The Tender Plants which from the Earth do spring Praises to God from time to time do sing The rowling foaming Waves his Might do show The Hard congealed Ice and Milk-white Snow The Fountains and the Meadows every one The running Brooks and clear Springs make him known The Fowls o' th Air the Birds in time of Spring Most sweet melodious Harmonies do
