123. God of Everlasting Glory

1 God of everlasting glory,
filling earth and sky,
everywhere your wonders open
to our searching eye:
in our telescopic probing -
light-years from our world,
in the atom's theoried structure
science has unfurled.

2 As we push man's frontiers forward
into outer space,
reaching for the stars and planets,
still your hand we trace;
in the lab'ratory's silence,
where your secrets hide,
there the marvels of creation
are for us supplied.

3 In the open book of nature
faith remains unmoved -
patterns of the Master Builder
by each fact are proved;
so with rev'rent hearts we ponder
all the grand design
of the universe around us,
wrought by hands divine.

4 Through the course of human hist'ry
has your purpose run,
and in substance have we seen you
in your glorious Son:
he it was who came to save us
and our hopes to raise -
God of everlasting glory,
your great name we praise!
