The Heavens Declare Thy Glory, Lord!
In Every Star Thy Wisdom Shines;
But When Our Eyes Behold Thy Word,
We Read Thy Name In Fairer Lines.
The Rolling Sun, The Changing Light,
And Nights And Days, Thy Power Confess;
But The Blest Volume Thou Hast Writ,
Reveals Thy Justice And Thy Grace.
Sun, Moon, And Stars, Convey Thy Praise
Round The Whole Earth, And Never Stand;
So When Thy Truth Began Its Race,
It Touched And Glanced On Every Land.
Nor Shall Thy Spreading Gospel Rest
Till Through The World Thy Truth Has Run;
Till Christ Has All The Nations Blest
That See The Light, Or Feel The Sun.
Great Sun Of Righteousness! Arise;
Bless The Dark World With Heavenly Light:
Thy Gospel Makes The Simple Wise,
Thy Laws Are Pure, Thy Judgments Right.
Thy Noblest Wonders Here We View,
In Souls Renewed, And Sins Forgiven;
Lord! Cleanse My Sins, My Soul Renew,
And Make Thy Word My Guide To Heaven.
