What made the angels sing and shout?
The earth's foundations laid!
Its measures marked, its bases sunk,
The cornerstone was made! (Hallelujah!)
God enclosed the bursting seas;
Established their boundaries!
The coastline will not disappear—
Your proud waves will stop right here!

Did you ever command
The dawn since your days began?
Or where's the way to the dwelling of light—
Or the snow storehouses bright? (Can you find them?)
Could you number all the clouds,
Send the hail and light'ning forth?
It is God who made the gov'rning laws
And established them in heav'n and earth!
