Lyics

Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise;

Thee all thy creatures sing;

While with thy name, rocks, hills, and seas,

And heaven's high palace, ring.



Thy hand, how wide it spread the sky!

How glorious to behold!

Ting'd with a blue of heav'nly dye,

And deck'd with sparkling gold.



Almighty pow'r, and equal skill,

Shine through the worlds abroad,

Our soul with vast amazement fill,

And speak the builder, God.



But still, the wonders of thy grace

 Our warmer passions move;

Here we behold our Saviour's face,

And here adore his love.
