Thy glories how diffus'd abroad Thro' the creation's frame. 2 Nature in every dress Her humble homage pays, And finds a thousand ways t' express Thine undissembled praise. 3 My soul would rise and sing To her creator too, Fain would my tongue adore my king, And pay the worship due. 4 [But pride, that busy sin, Spoils all that I perform, Curs'd pride, that creeps securely in, And swells a haughty worm.] 5 Create my soul anew, Else all my worship's vain; This wretched heart will ne'er be true, Until tis form'd again. 6 Let joy and worship spend The remnant of my days, And to my God my soul, ascend In sweet perfumes of praise.
