TERNAL Wisdom, thee we praise,
 * Thee the Creation sings

With thy loud name rocks, hills and sea,
 * and Heaven's high palace rings.

Downwards I turn my wondering eyes,
 * on clouds and storms below,

Those under regions of the skies
 * they numerous glories show.

There like a trumpet loud and strong,
 * thy thunder shakes our coasts.

While the red light'ning waves along,
 * the banners of thy host.

Now to the earth I bend my song,
 * and cast my eyes abroad,

Glancing the British Isles along,
 * blest isles confess your God.
