-The Spacious Firmament on high,
-With all the blue Ethereal Sky,
-And spangled Heav'ns, a Shining Frame,
-Their great Original proclaim:
-Th'unwearied Sun, from Day to Day,
-Does his Creator's Pow'r display,
-And publishes to every Land
-The Work of an Almighty Hand.
-Soon as the Evening Shades prevail,
-The Moon takes up the wondrous Tale,
-And nightly to the list'ning Earth
-Repeats the Story of her Birth:
-Whilst all the Stars that round her burn,
-And all the Planets in their turn,
-Confirm the Tidings, as they rowl,
-And spread the Truth from Pole to Pole.
-What though, in solemn Silence, all
-Move round the dark terrestrial Ball?
-What tho' nor real Voice nor Sound
-Amid their radiant Orbs be found?
-In Reason's Ear they all rejoice,
-And utter forth a glorious Voice,
-For ever singing, as they shine,
-'The Hand that made us is Divine.'}}
