Who Can Measure Heaven and Earth

Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: WHSB1986 #509 (1986) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Scripture: Exodus 15 First Line: Who can measure heav'n and earth? Lyrics: 1 Who can measure heav'n and earth? God was present at their birth; Who can number seeds or sands? Ev'ry grain is in his hands: Through creation's countless days Ev'ry dawn sings out his praise. 2 Who can tell what wisdom brings, First of all created things? One alone is truly wise, Hidden from our earthbound eyes: Knowledge lies in him alone-- God, the Lord upon his throne! 3 Wisdom in his plans, he laid, Planted her in all he made; Granted her to humankind, Sowed her truth in ev'ry mind: But with richest wisdom blessed Those who love him first and best. 4 Wisdom gives the surest wealth, Brings her children life and health; Teaches us to fear the Lord, Marks a universe restored: Heav'n and earth she will outlast-- Happy those who hold her fast!
