A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship ‎#LVI

LVI. The heavens declare thy glory, Lord

1 The heavens declare thy glory, Lord
In every star thy wisdom shines;
But, in the volume of thy word,
We read thy name in fairer lines.

2 Sun, moon, and stars, convey thy praise
Round the whole earth and never stand;
So, when thy truth began its race,
It touch'd and glanc'd on every land.

3 Nor let thy spreading gospel rest,
Till thro' the earth thy truth has run,
Till it has all the nations blest,
That see the light or feel the sun.

4 Great God of righteousness, arise,
Bless the dark world with heavenly light,
Thy gospel makes the simple wise,
Thy laws are pure, thy judgment right.

5 Thy noblest wonders here we view,
In souls renew'd and sins forgiven,
Lord, cleanse our sins, our souls renew,
And make thy word our guide to heaven.

6 Thy noblest wonders here we view.
In souls renewed and sins forgiven:
Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew.
And make thy word my guide to heaven.
