praise his Name.

Worship; in the Beauty bless,
Beauty of his Holiness.
From a dark and show'ring Cloud,
On the floods that roar aloud,
Hark! his Voice with terrour breaks:
God, our God in Thunder speaks.
Powerful in his Voice on high,
Full of Pow'r and Majestie:
Lofty Cedars overthrown,
Cedars of steep Libanon,
Calf-like skipping on the ground.
Libanon and Sirion bound,
Like a youthful Unicorn,
Lab'ring Clouds with Light'ning torn.
At his Voice the Desert shakes;
Kadish, thy vast Desert quakes.
Trembling Hindes then calve for fear;
Shady Forrests bare appear:
His renown by ev'ry tongue
Through his Holy Temple sung.
He the raging Floods restrains:
He a King for ever raigns.
God his People shall increase,
Arm with Strength, and bless with Peace.
