Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, 1840

Hymn 6
S.M.
1. Let all creation join,
To praise the eternal God;
The heavenly hosts begin the song,
And sound his name abroad.

2. The sun with golden beams,
And moon with silver rays -
The starry lights, and twinkling flames,
Shine to their Maker's praise.

3. He built those worlds above,
And fixed their wondrous frame;
By his command they stand or move,
And always speak his fame,

4. The fleecy clouds that rise,
Or falling showers or snow;
The thunder rolling round the skies,
His power and glory show.

5. The broad expanse on high,
With all the heavens afford;
The crinkling fire that streaks the sky,
Unite to praise the Lord.

CHORUS.
By all that shines above
His glory is expressed;
But saints that know his endless love,
Should sing his praises best.
