The Heavens Declare Your Glory
Author: Thomas R. Birks Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Creation and Providence; Creation Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare your glory,
the firmament your power;
day unto day the story
repeats from hour to hour.
Night unto night replying,
proclaims in every land,
O Lord, with voice undying,
the wonders of your hand.
2 The sun with royal splendor
goes forth to chant your praise,
and moonbeams soft and tender
their gentler anthem raise.
O'er every tribe and nation
the music is outpoured,
the song of all creation
to you, creation's Lord.
3 All heaven on high rejoices
to do its Maker's will;
the stars with solemn voices
resound your praises still.
So let my whole behavior,
each thought, each deed I do,
be, Lord, my strength, my Savior,
a ceaseless song to you.

The heavens declare thy glory, Lord
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 594 hymnals Topics: Creation; Creation and the Environment 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 Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise
round the whole earth, and never stand;
so, when thy truth began its race,
it touched and glanced on every land.
4 Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest
till through the world thy truth has run;
till Christ has all the nations blest
that see the light or feel the sun.
5 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise;
bless the dark world with heavenly light;
thy gospel makes the simple wise,
thy laws are pure, thy judgements right.
6 Thy noblest wonders here we view,
in souls renewed and sins forgiven:
Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew,
and make thy word my guide to heaven. Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT

knows and names them as they shine.

Wounded souls His comfort know;
those who fear Him find His mercies,
peace for pain and joy for woe;
humble hearts are high exalted,
human pride and power laid low.
3 Praise the Lord for times and seasons,
cloud and sunshine, wind and rain;
spring to melt the snows of winter
till the waters flow again;
grass upon the mountain pastures,
golden valleys thick with grain.

peace and plenty crown your days;
love His laws, declare His judgements,
walk in all His words and ways;
He the Lord and we His children:
praise the Lord, all people, praise! Scripture: Psalm 147 Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE

The deserts bloom and spring,
The hills leap up in gladness,
The valleys laugh and sing.

All things with large increase;
He crowns the year with blessing,
With plenty and with peace.

The gifts his goodness gave,
The golden sheaves of harvest,
The souls Christ died to save.

When at his feet you fall,
And with your lives adore him
Who gave his life for all. Used With Tune: WIE LIEBLICH IST DER MAIEN

darkness and light,
who the day for toil hast given,
for rest the night;
may thine angel-guards defend us,
slumber sweet thy mercy send us,
holy dreams and hopes attend us,
this live-long night.
2 And, when morn again shall call us
to run life's way,
may we still, whate'er befall us,
thy will obey.
From the pow'r of evil hide us,
in the narrow pathway guide us,
nor thy smile be e'er denied us
the live-long day.
3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping;
and when we die,
may we, in thy mighty keeping,
all peaceful lie:
when the last dread trump shall wake us,
do not thou, O God, forsake us,
but to reign in glory take us
with thee on high.
Scripture: Psalm 42:8 Used With Tune: AR HYD Y NOS
