Subject(s): God
O GOD! who mad'st earth, sea, and air,
And living creatures, free and fair,
Thy hallow'd praise is everywhere,
Halleluja!
All blended in the swelling song
Are wise and simple, weak and strong,
Sweet woman's voice and infant's tongue,
Halleluja!
Yea, woods and winds and waves convey
To the rapt ear a hymn, and say
"He who hath made us we obey,
Halleluja!"
