  1. Let us give praises to our God,
    Who dwellest in the firmament,
    Who unto all men He doth feed,
    For all creatures He doth care.

  2. The firmament he broadly decked,
    He made the brighter sun and moon,
    His handiwork the shinning stars.
    Numberical value unknown.

  3. The mortal form of man He made,
    And the breath of life He doth give,
    A perfect living soul He made,
    As befitting as all we be.

  4. But man vilest and rotten be,
    From evil to evil they go,
    The recompense for sin they reap,
    In trouble and also in death.

  5. But let us praise and honour God,
    For He sent Christ Jesus to us;
    To seek for all the straying souls,
    Redemption from sinful pathways. Amen.
