1.The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame
Their great Original proclaim.
Th’unwearied sun, from day to day,
Does his creator’s powers display,
And publishes to every land
The work of an almighty hand.

2. Soon as the evening shades prevail
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth;
While all the stars that round her burn
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.

3. What though in solemn silence all
Move round the dark terrestrial ball?
What though no real voice nor sound
Amid the radiant orbs be found?
In reason’s ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice,
Forever singing as they shine,
“The hand that made us is divine.”

1. 0 céu azul na amplidão,
Estrelas mil em multidão,
A luz do céu e seu fulgor
Proclamarão o Criador.
O Sol de luz, com seu calor,
Louvor dará ao seu Autor,
E sem falar, a resplender,
Dirá de Deus e Seu poder.

2. Ao grande Deus, o som do mar,
A flor gentil, a voz do ar,
A doce paz da noite azul
Aclamarão de norte a sul.
Assim dirão o céu e o mar,
Do Seu poder e amor sem par.
E vós, nações clamai também!
Louvai a Deus, Senhor! Amém.
