Lyics

THERE'S not a tint that paints the rose,

Or decks the lily fair,

Or streaks the humblest flower that blows,

But God has place it there.



There's not a star whose twinkling light

Illumes the distant earth,

And cheers the solemn gloom of night,

But goodness gave it birth.



There's not a cloud whose dews distill

Upon the parching clod,

And clothe with verdure vale and hill,

That is not sent of God.



Around, beneath, below, above,

Wherever space extends,

There heaven displays its boundless love,

And power with goodness blends.
