LyicsBehold! the lofty sky
Declares its maker, God;
And all his starry works, on high,
Proclaim his power abroad.
The darkness and the light
Still keep their course the same;
While night to day, and day to night,
Divinely teach his name.
In every different land,
Their general voice is known;
They show the wonders of his hand,
And orders of his throne.
Ye Christian lands! rejoice;
Here he reveals his word;
We are not left to nature's voice,
To bid us know the Lord.
