‘up to the heavens’ lyrics based on psalm 8 to the tune of ‘Cavalleria Rusticana’ from the Album ‘Pieces in a modern style’ by William Orbit

The track begins with a few bars of melody - a kind of introduction to the tune, then the melody begins again at which point the lyrics fit:

Yahweh, Lord
Adored Mother of creation
Space and time cosmic architect
Atoms ring with your praises
God present in all ages
I raise my head up to the heavens
See distant stars - and know you

What am I
among this infinite science?
Why should you spare a thought for me?
Yet you give our vocation:
Trust us with this creation
I raise my head up to the heavens
I praise your name, Yahweh, Lord
