The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #265 (2000) Tune Title: ADDISON'S (LONDON) Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, with all the blue ethereal sky, and spangled heavens, a shining frame, their great Original proclaim. The 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 the dark terrestrial ball; what though nor real voice nor sound amid their radiant orbs be found; in reason's ear they all rejoice, and utter forth a glorious voice, for ever singing as they shine, 'The hand that made us is divine.'

I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on, o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till the night is gone, and with the morn those angel faces smile, which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

Strive till that image Adam lost, new-minted and restored, in shining splendour brightly bears the likeness of the Lord. 2 Spirit of truth within me, possess my thought and mind; lighten anew the inward eye by Satan rendered blind: shine on the words that wisdom speaks, and grant me power to see the truth made known to all in Christ, and in that truth be free. 3 Spirit of love within me, possess my hands and heart; break through the bonds of self-concern that seeks to stand apart: grant me the love that suffers long, that hopes, believes and bears; the love fulfilled in sacrifice, that cares as Jesus cares. 4 Spirit of life within me, possess this life of mine; come as the wind of heaven's breath, come as the fire divine! Spirit of Christ, the living Lord, reign in this house of clay, till from its dust with Christ I rise to everlasting day. Topics: Pentecost Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:7 Languages: English
