Title:     Hymn 2:13 [Sing To The Lord That Built The Skies]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

The creation, preservation, dissolution, and
restoration of this world.

Sing to the Lord that built the skies,
The Lord that rear'd this stately frame;
Let half the nations sound his praise,
And lands unknown repeat his Name.

He form'd the seas, and form'd the hills,
Made every drop and every dust,
Nature and time with all their wheels,
And push'd them into motion first.

Now from his high imperial throne
He looks far down upon the spheres;
He bids the shining orbs roll on,
And round he turns our hasty years.

Thus shall this moving engine last
Till all his saints are gather'd in,
Then for the trumpet's dreadful blast
To shake it all to dust again!

Yet when the sound shall tear the skies,
And lightning burn the globe below,
Saints, you may lift your joyful eyes,
There's a new heaven and earth for you.

[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 2:13 [sing To The Lord That Built The Skies]
