The heavens declare your glory, Lord
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 592 hymnals First Line: The heavens declare your glory, Lord! Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare your glory, Lord!
In every star your wisdom shines,
but when our eyes behold your word,
we read your name in fairer lines.
2 Sun, moon and stars convey your praise
to all the earth, and never stand,
so when your truth began its race,
it touched and glanced on every land.
3 Nor shall your spreading gospel rest
till through the world your truth has run,
till Christ has all the nations blest
who see the light or feel the sun.
4 Great sun of righteousness, arise
and bless the world with heavenly light!
Your gospel makes the simple wise;
your laws are pure, your judgements right.
5 Your noblest wonders here we view
in souls renewed and sins forgiven:
Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew,
and make your word my guide to heaven. Topics: Forgiveness / Pardon; God Wisdom of; God Righteousness of; God Glory of; God Creator and Ruler; Light; Mission; The Bible; Truth Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT
