Text: | The glorious universe around |
Author: | Montgomery |
1 The glorious universe around,
The heavens with all their train,
Sun, moon, and stars, are firmly bound
In one mysterious chain.
2 The earth, the ocean, and the sky
To form one world agree;
Where all that walk, or swim or fly,
Compose one family.
3 God in creation thus displays
His wisdom and his might,
While all his works with all his ways
Harmoniously unite.
4 In one fraternal bond of love,
One fellowship of mind,
The saints below and saints above
Their bliss and glory find.
5 Here, in their house of pilgrimage,
Thy statutes are their song;
There, through one bright, eternal age,
Thy praises they prolong.
6 Lord, may our union form a part
Of that thrice happy whole;
Derive its pulse from thee, the heart,
Its life from thee, the soul.
