- 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.
- The firmament he broadly decked,
He made the brighter sun and moon,
His handiwork the shinning stars.
Numberical value unknown.
- 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.
- But man vilest and rotten be,
From evil to evil they go,
The recompense for sin they reap,
In trouble and also in death.
- 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.
