In all life thou livest, the true life of all. We blossom and flourish like leaves on the tree, then wither and perish; but naught changeth thee. 4 Thou reignest in glory; thou dwellest in light. Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight. All praise we would render; O help us to see 'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee! Scripture: Exodus 33:20 Used With Tune: ST. DENIO

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 798 hymnals Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue, ethereal sky, Th' unwearied sun, from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim: 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; While 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 the dark terrestrial ball? What though nor real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." Used With Tune: CREATION
