The Spacious Firmament on High

Th'unwearied sun from day to day, Does his Creator's pow'r display; And publishes to every 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 listening 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 no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice Forever singing as they shine, Amen.
