By Benedicite (Selected Rondels). VIII. “Ye Seas and Floods”Richard Wilton (1827–1903)
O ye Seas and Floods, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
Y
Resound His Name for evermore:
Ye rushing falls, that thunder o’er
The rifted rocks, and daze the sight:
Ye waves that with your crests of white
Incessant dash upon the shore:
Ye Seas and Floods, with voice of might
Resound His Name for evermore.
Round your grey boulders dance and roar;
Ye billows on the ocean floor,
Your hands in jubilation smite:
Ye Seas and Floods, with voice of might
Resound His Name for evermore.
