The Sky 389b

Tune: R. F. M. Mann, 1869
Lyrics: Linley, 1830
Meter: Long Meter (8,8,8,8)
Loud swell the pealing organ’s notes;
Breathe forth your soul in raptures high;
Praise ye the Lord with harp and voice;
Join the full chorus of the sky.

Say how may earth and heav'n unite?
And how shall man with angels join?
What link harmonious may be found?
Discordant nature to combine?
