But Spring revives their hopes again, And breathes new life through every vein. 4 How emblematic of that day, The glorious resurrection morn, When, decked in brighter robes than May, In robes that angel hosts adorn, The soul, redeemed, shall burst its tomb, And in immortal glory bloom! GOD'S WORKS PRAISE HIM. HYMN 71. H. M. [#] Glory of God's Works. 1 YE realms below the skies, 2 Give glory to the Lord, Ye kindreds of the earth; And show his wonders forth, Till heathen tongues his grace proclaim, 3 "Tis he the mountains crowns "Tis he old ocean bounds, And heaves her roaring tide; He swells the tempests on the main, Or breathes the zephyr o'er the plain. 4 Still let the waters roar, As round the earth they roll; They sound, from pole to pole. 5 His praise, ye worlds on high, When silent night appears.
