Lyrics
Verse 1
The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Th'unwearied sun, from day to day. Does his Creator's pow'r display And publishes to ev'ry land The work of an almighty hand.
Verse 2
Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale. And nightly to the list'ning earth Repeats the story of her birth; While 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.
