Hymnal, Amore Dei ‎#5

5. The heavens Thy praise are telling

The heavens Thy praise are telling,
The earth declares Thy might:
But nought save Thine dwelling
Can show Thee, Lord, aright.
Where'er our eyes are turning,
Thy footprints we can see;
The light within us burning
Alone revealeth Thee.

We know no life divided,
O Lord of Life, from Thee;
In Thee is life provided
for all humanity:
We know no death, O Spirit,
Because we live in Thee,
And all our souls inherit
Thine immortality.
