29. Let all in heaven and earth unite

Author: Basil Bridge

Let all in heaven and earth unite
in this our joyful duty;
to praise our God, the Lord of might,
the source of truth and beauty;
the rumbling thunder’s awesome voice,
the lightning flash, both cry, ‘Rejoice!
Come, give him praise and glory!’

2. God’s voice is echoed by the seas,
in storms, their power unfurling,
in winds that lash the cedar trees
and set the desert swirling;
it stirs the mighty ocean deep,
the hills like startled cattle leap:
come, give him praise and glory!
