A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship ‎#XI

XI. There is a God, all nature speaks

1 There is a God, all nature speaks,
Thro' earth, and air, and seas, and skies,
See, from the clouds his glory breaks,
When the first beams of morning rise.

2 The rising sun, serenely bright,
O'er the wide world's extended frame,
Inscribes, in characters of light,
His mighty Maker's glorious name.

3 Diffusing life, his influence spreads;
And health and plenty smile around;
And fruitful fields, and verdant meads,
Are with a thousand blessings crown'd.

4 The flow'ry tribes, all blooming, rise
Above the weak attempts at art;
Their bright, inimitable dyes
Speak sweet conviction to the heart.

5 Ye curious minds, who roam abroad,
And trace creation's wonders o'er,
Confess the footsteps of the God,
And bow before him, and adore.
