Text:O Lord! while angels praise thee
Tune:[O Lord! while angels praise thee]

67. O Lord! while angels praise thee

1 O Lord! while angels praise thee,
And all creation sings,
To thee almighty spirit!
My soul its tribute brings.

2 The morning stars all praise thee;
The heavenly host on high.
The beams of early dawning,
And purple evening sky.

3 The fragrant springing-flowers,
And summer's glowing rays,
The golden fruits of autumn,
And winters frozen days.

4 With pleasure thou dost listen,
To hear an infant sing,
Thou wilt accept the praises
That little children bring.

5 To thee I give my being,
I consecrate my days;
And every day my duty
Shall be to sing thy praise.
