[00:01.85]
[00:04.99]The spacious firmament on high
[00:11.79]With all the blue ethereal sky
[00:18.15]And spangled heavens a shining frame
[00:24.99]Their great Original proclaim
[00:31.33]
[00:42.03]The unwearied sun from day to day
[00:48.59]Does his Creator's powers display
[00:55.26]And publishes to every land
[01:01.75]The work of an Almighty Hand

[01:23.23]The moon takes up the wondrous tale
[01:29.44]And nightly to the listening earth
[01:35.90]Repeats the story of her birth;
[01:42.54]
[01:51.29]While all the stars that round her burn
[01:57.45]And all the planets in their turn
[02:04.06]Confirm the tidings as they roll
[02:10.07]
[02:10.61]And spread the truth from pole to pole
[02:17.28]
[02:38.07]What though in solemn silence all
[02:49.20]
[02:49.82]Move round the dark terrestrial ball
[03:00.42]
[03:01.07]What though no real voice nor sound
[03:11.92]
[03:12.51]Amid the radiant orbs be found
