Who Can Measure Heaven and Earth
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #509 (1986) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 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! Topics: Ordinary Time 32, Year A; Providence Scripture: Exodus 15 Languages: English Tune Title: LUCERNA LAUDONIAE

He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851).
