God Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens

Author: Catherine Cameron Appears in 46 hymnals First Line: God, who stretched the spangled heavens Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens, Infinite in time and place, Flung the suns in burning radiance Through the silent fields of space, We Thy children, in Thy likeness, Share inventive powers with Thee: Great Creator, still creating, Teach us what we yet may be. 2 Proudly rise our modern cities, Stately buildings, row on row; Yet their windows, blank, unfeeling, Stare on canyoned streets below, Where the lonely drift unnoticed In the city's ebb and flow, Lost to purpose and to meaning, Scarcely caring where they go. 3 We have conquered worlds undreamed of Since the childhood of our race; Known the ecstasy of winging Through untraveled realms of space; Probed the secrets of the atom, Yielding unimagined power, Facing us with life's destruction Or our most triumphant hour. 4 As Thy new horizons beckon, Father, give us strength to be Children of creative purpose, Thinking Thy thoughts after Thee, Till our dreams are rich with meaning, Each endeavor, Thy design: Great Creator, lead us onward, Till our work is one with Thine.

Trumpets and organs set in motion such sounds as make the heavens ring: all things that live in earth and ocean make music for your mighty King. 3 Rivers and seas and torrents roaring, honor the Lord with wild acclaim; mountains and stones look up adoring and find a voice to praise his name. Righteous, commanding, ever glorious, praises be his that never cease: just is our God, whose truth victorious establishes the world in peace.
