LyicsETERNAL Wisdom! Thee we praise,
Thee the creation sings:
With thy lov'd name, rocks, hills and seas,
And heaven's high palace rings.
Thy hand, how wide it spreads the sky,
How glorious to behold!
Tinged with a hue of heavenly dye,
And starred with sparkling gold.
There thou hast bid the globes of light
Their endless circuits run:
There the pale planet rules the night:
The day obeys the sun.
If down I turn my wondering eyes
On clouds and storms below;
Those under regions of the skies
Thy numerous glories show.
The noisy winds stand ready there,
Thy orders to obey:
With sounding wings they sweep the air,
To make thy chariot way.
There, like a trumpet loud and strong
Thy thunder shakes our coast;
While the red lightnings wave along,
The banners of thy host.
Infinite strength and equal skill
Shine through thy works abroad;
Our souls with vast amazement fill,
And speak the builder, God!
But the mild glories of thy grace,
Our softer passions move:
Pity divine in Jesus' face,
We see, adore, and love.
