Th'unwearied sun from day to day, Does his Creator's power display; And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly, to the listening earth, Repeats the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence, all Move round this dark terrestrial ball? What though no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice. Forever singing, as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." Amen. Topics: Choir; God the Father God in Nature; Worship Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION

What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousand fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore! What knitting severed friendships up Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late, Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of thine elect, Then take thy power and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heavens thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come.
