¶Lyrics / Text

We sing to him, whose Wisdom form’d the Ear, Our Songs, let him who gave us Voices, hear; We joy in God, who is the Spring of Mirth, Who loves the Harmony of Heav’n and Earth; Our humble Sonnets shall That Praise rehearse, Who is the Musick of the Universe. And whilst we sing, we consecrate our Art, And offer up with ev’ry Tongue a Heart.
