jeremiah ingalls - honor to the hills lyrics

through all this world below
god we see all around
search hills and valleys through
there he’s found
in growing fields of corn
the lily and the th+rn
the pleasant and forlorn
all declare god is there;
in meadows dressed in green
there he’s seen

see springing waters rise
fountains flow, rivers run;
the mist beclouds the sky
hides the sun:
then down the rain doth pour
the ocean it doth roar
and break upon the shore
all to praise, in their lays
a god that ne’er declines
his designs

the sun with all his rays
speaks of god as he flies;
the comet in its blaze
god it cries
the shining of the stars
the moon when she appears
his dreadful name declares:
see them fly through the sky
and join the silent sound
from the ground
then let my station be
here in life, where i see
the sacred trinity
all agree
in all the works he’s made
the forest and the glade
nor let me be afraid
though i dwell in the hill
where nature’s works declare
god is there

god did to moses show
glories more than peru;
his face alone withdrew
from the view
mount sinai was the place
where god did show his grace;
and moses sang his praise
see him rise near the skies:
and view old canaan’s ground
all around

elijah’s servant views
from the hill and declares
a little cloud appears
dry your tears:
our lord transfigured is
with those blest saints of his
as faith the witnesses:
see them shine all divine
while olive’s mount is blest
with the rest
not india hills of gold
with wonders, we are told
nor seraphs strong and bold
can unfold
the mountain calvary
where christ our lord did die;
hark! hear the god+man cry
mountains quake, heavens shake
when god, their author’s ghost
leaves their coast

and now from calvary
we may stand and espy
beyond this lower sky
far on high
mount zion’s spicy hill
where saints and angels dwell;
hark! hear them sing and tell
of their lord, with accord
and join in moses’ song
heart and tongue

the hills are honored thus
by our lord in his course
let them not be by us
called a curse;
forbid it mighty king
but rather let us sing
while hills and valleys ring;
echoes fly through the sky
and heaven hears the sound
from the ground
