Old School Hymn - The Heavens with praise to The Lord are abounding

Post by Ronnie127 » Mon Dec 18, 2017 11:57 pm

Please can someone put me out if my misery here. I'm trying to remember my old school hymn but it's way over 50 years ago.
I know the hymn starts off with "The Heavens with praise to The Lord are abounding" but I pretty sure that's not the title.

Towards the end of the hymn it goes something like
"A giant who his coarse would run " and repeat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Hi Ronnie127

I think this what you are looking for -

The Heav'ns with praise to the Lord are abounding
His name to bear afar they rejoice
The earth, the sea to His honor are sounding
Give ear O man to nature's voice

The stars above us who is it upholdeth
Who leaders from His tent the sun
He cometh laughing, His glory unfoldeth
A giant who His course would run

The words were written by Christian F. Gellert in 1803
