Things future, nor things that are now, Nor all things below or above, Can make him his purpose forgo, Or sever my soul from his love. 3 My name from the palms of his hands Eternity will not erase; Impressed on his heart it remains, In marks of indelible grace.

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: TH1961 #103 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heav'ns, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. Th'unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's pow'r display, And publishes to ev'ry land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the list'ning earth Repeats the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball? What though nor real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; For ever singing, as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." Amen.
