Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #158 (1957) First Line: The heavens declare Thy glory, Lord Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare Thy glory, Lord,
In every star Thy wisdom shines;
But when our eyes behold Thy Word,
We read Thy Name in fairer lines.
2 The rolling sun, the changing light,
And nights and days, Thy power confess
But the blest volume Thou hast writ,
Reveals Thy justice and Thy grace.
3 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Bless the dark world with heavenly light:
Thy gospel makes the simple wise,
Thy laws are pure, Thy judgments right.
4 Thy noblest wonders here we view
In souls renewed, and sins forgiv'n;
Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew,
And make Thy Word my guide to heaven.
Amen. Topics: Education Christian; God the Father God in Nature; God's Word; Psalm Adaptations; Schools; Scriptures; Teaching Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English Tune Title: UXBRIDGE
