Author: I. Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: HTC #254 (1987) Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare your glory, Lord!
in every star your wisdom shines;
but when our eyes behold your word,
we read your name in clearer lines.
2 Sun, moon, and stars convey your praise
to all the earth and never stand;
so when your truth began its race
it touched and glanced on every land.
3 Nor shall your spreading gospel rest
till through the world your truth has run;
till Christ has all the nations blessed
who see the light or feel the sun.
4 Great Sun of righteousness, arise,
and bless the world with heavenly light!
your gospel makes the simple wise;
your laws are pure, your judgments right.
5 Your noblest wonders here we view
in souls renewed and sins forgiven;
Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew,
and make your word my guide to heaven.
