LyicsTHERE'S not a tint that paints the rose,
Or decks the lily fair,
Or streaks the humblest flow'r that blows,
But God has plac'd it there.
There's not a start 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,
Thereever heav'n displays its boundless love,
And pow'r with goodness blends.
