And publishes to ev'ry Land

The Work of an Almighty Hand.

Soon as the Ev'ning Shades prevail,

The Moon takes up the wond'rous Tale,

And nightly to the list'ning Earth,

Repeats the Story of her Birth:

Whilst all the Stars that round her burn,

And all the Planets in their Turn,

Confirm the Tidings as they roll,

And spread the Truth from Pole to Pole.
