Hell's deep gloom
In heaven you reign, enthroned in light. Nature's expanse is spread beneath you. Earth, air, and sea, before your sight, and hell's deep gloom, are laid open. Wisdom, and might, and love are yours. Prostrate before your face we fall, confess your attributes divine, and hail the sovereign Lord of all.

In heaven thou reign’st, enthron’d in light, Nature’s expanse beneath thee spread; Earth, air, and sea before thy sight, And hell’s deep gloom are open laid. Wisdom, and might, and love are thine; Prostrate before thy face we fall, Confess thine attributes divine, And hail the sovereign Lord of all.
