See, from the clouds his glory breaks,

When earliest beams of morning rise.

2 The rising sun, serenely bright,

Throughout the world's extended frame,

Inscribes in characters of light

His mighty Maker's glorious name.

3 Ye curious minds, who roam abroad,

And trace creation's wonders o'er,

Confess the footsteps of your God--

Bow down before him and adore.
