The Heavens Declare Thy Glory, Lord

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.

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 judgements 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.
