Who, with living flowers Of loveliest blue, spread garlands at your feet ? God!

Page 187 - Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail ; snow, and vapours: stormy wind fulfilling his word : Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth : Both young men, and maidens; old men and children: let them praise the name of the Lord: For his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
