Classic Poem

You that are of princely birth,
Praise the Lord of heav'n and earth;
Glory give, His pow'r proclaim,
Magnify and praise His name.
Worship; in the beauty bless,
Beauty of His holiness.
From a dark and show'ring cloud,
On the floods that roar aloud,
Hark! His voice with terror breaks:
God, our God in thunder speaks.
Pow'rful is His voice on high,
Full of pow'r and majesty:
Lofty cedars overthrown,
Cedars of steep Lebanon,
Calf-like skipping on the ground;
Lebanon and Sirion bound,
Like a youthful unicorn.
Lab'ring clouds with lightning torn.
At His voice the desert shakes;
Kadish, thy vast desert quakes.
Trembling hinds then calve for fear;
Shady forests bare appear:
His renown by ev'ry tongue
Through His holy temple sung.
He the raging floods restrains,
He a King for ever reigns.
God His people shall increase,
Arm with strength, and bless with peace.
