1 Mighty heaven and earth, most meet for honour, are present here with light and gleaming splendours; when, fixing them apart, vast, most extensive, the Steer roars loudly in far-reaching courses.

2 Holy with holy, the Two stand pouring out their rain, exhaustless: faithful and guileless, leaders of worship with shining splendours.

3 Sure in the worlds He was a skilful Craftsman, He who produced these Twain, the earth and heaven. Wise, with His power He brought both realms, together spacious and deep, well-fashioned, unsupported.

4 O heaven and earth, with one accord promoting, with high protection as of queens, our welfare, far-reaching, universal, holy, guard us. May we, car-borne, through song be victors ever.

5 To both of you, O heaven and earth, we bring our lofty song of praise to glorify God who made you both.

6 Ye are sanctified each in your form, by the might of God ye rule, and from of old observe the Law.

7 Furthering and fulfilling, ye, O Mighty, perfect the Friend's Law. Ye sit around our worship.
