UP RAVEN singeth evermore. Before the throne of God angels and redeemed saints

extol his name. And this world is singing too; sometimes with the loud noise of the rolling thunder, of the boiling sea, of the dashing cataract, and of the lowing cattle; and often with that still, solemn harmony which floweth from the vast creation, when in its silence it praiseth God.

In heaven they sing, ‘The Lord be exalted; let his name be magnified forever.” And the earth singeth the same: “Great art thou in thy works, O Lord! and unto thee be glory.”
