EN 619 Great God, the Heav’ns’ Well Ordered Frame

Ps.19.1

Versi Version 1

1

Great God, the heav’ns’ well ordered frame

Declares the glories of Thy Name:

There Thy rich works of wonder shine;

A thousand starry beauties there

A thousand radiant marks appear

Of boundless power and skill divine.

2

From night to day, from day to night,

The dawning and the dying light

Lectures of heav’nly wisdom read;

With silent eloquence they raise

Our thoughts to our Creator’s praise,

And neither sound nor language need.

3

Yet their divine instructions run

Far as the journeys of the sun,

And every nation knows their voice:

The sun, like some young bridegroom dressed

Breaks from the chambers of the east,

Rolls round, and makes the earth rejoice.

4

Where’er he spreads his beams abroad

He smiles and speaks his Maker God;

All nature joins to show Thy praise:

Thus God in every creature shines;

Fair is the book of nature’s lines,

But fairer is Thy book of grace.
