Hymnal: NSHS1812 #56 (1812) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of men, with joy record
The various wonders of the LORD;
And let his power and goodness sound
Thro' all your tribes the earth around.
2 Let the high heavens your songs invite,
Those spacious fields of brilliant light;
Where sun and moon and planets roll,
And stars, that glow from pole to pole.
3 Sing, earth, in verdant robes array'd,
Its herbs and flowers, its fruits and shade;
Peopled with life of various forms,
Of fish, and fowl, and beasts, and worms.
4 View the broad sea's majestic plains,
And think how wide its Maker reigns;
That band remotest nations joins,
And on each wave his goodness shines.
5 But O! that brighter world above,
Where lives and reigns incarnate love,
God's only Son, in flesh array'd,
For man a bleeding victim made.
6 Thither my soul with rapture soar
There in the land of praise adore;
The theme demands an angel's lay,
Demands an everlasting day. Scripture: Psalm 107:31 Languages: English
Ye sons of men, with joy record
