The wording on the second section from the top reads:- "O ye Nights Days, Bless ye the LORD, Praise Him and Magnify Him for ever". The third section from the top reads:- "AND GOD SAID Let there be a Firmament in the midst of the Waters. The EVENING & the MORNING WERE the SECOND DAY". The fourth section from the top reads:- "O all ye Winds of GOD, Bless ye the LORD, Praise HIM and magnify HIM for ever". The fifth section from the top reads:- "AND GOD SAID Let the Waters be gathered together and let dry land appear. The EVENING & the MORNING WERE the THIRD DAY". The bottom section of the window reads:- "O ye Green Things of the Earth, O ye Showers and Dew, O ye Wells, Bless ye the LORD, Praise HIM ans magnify HIM for ever".
