LyicsAmid the splendors of the sun,
Great God! thy love appears,
In the soft radiance of the moon,
Among a thousand stars.
Nature, through all her ample round,
Thy boundless power proclaims;
And in melodious accents speaks
The goodness of thy names.
Thy justice, holiness and truth,
Our solemn awe excite;
But the sweet charms of sovereign grace
O'erpower us with delight.
In all thy doctrine and commands--
Thy counsels and designs--
In every work thy hands have framed
Thy love supremely shines.
Angels and men, the news proclaim
Through earth and heaven above,
The joyful, all-transporting news,
That God the Lord is love.
