“O lord have manifold are Thy works -Psalm 104:24
1 There is a book, who runs may read,
Which heav’nly truth imparts;
And all the lore its scholars need,
Pure eyes and Christian hearts.
2 The works of God above, below
Within us and around,
Are pages in that book to show
How God Himself is found.
3 The glorious sky embracing all
Is like the Maker’s love;
Wherewith encompass’d, great and small
In peace and order move.
One Name, above all glorious names,
With its ten thousand tongues
The everlasting sea proclaims
Echoing angelic songs.
5 Thou who hast giv’n me eyes to see
And love this sight so fair,
Give me a heart to find out Thee,
And read Thee everywhere.
