LyicsEternal Wisdom! Thee we praise,
Thee the creation sings:
With thy loved name rocks, hills, and seas,
And heaven's high palace rings.
Infinite strength and equal skill
Shine through thy works abroad,
Infinite strength and equal skill
Shine through thy works abroad,
Our souls with a vast amazement,
And speak the builder, God.
Thy hand, how wide it spreads the sky,
How glorious to behold,
Tinged with a blue of heavenly dye,
And starr'd with sparkling gold;
There thou hast bid the globes of light
Their endless circuit run,
There thou hast bid the globes of light
Their endless circuit run;
There the pale planet rules the night,
The day obeys the sun.
Lo! here thy wondrous skill arrays
The earth in cheerful green:
A thousand herbs thy are displays,
A thousand flowers between;
There the rough mountains of the deep
Obey thy strong command,
There the rough mountains of the deep
Obey thy strong command;
They breath can raise the billows steep
Or sink them to the sand.
Thy glories blaze all nature round,
And strike the wond'ring sight,
Through skies, and seas, and solid ground.
With terror and delight;
But the mild glories of thy grace
Our softer passions move,
But the mild glories of thy grace
Our softer passions move;
Pity divine, in Jesus' face,
We see, adore, and love.
