The heavens declare thy glory, Lord, <br />In every star thy wisdom shines; <br />But when our eyes behold thy word, <br />We read thy name in fairer lines. <br /> <br />The rolling sun, the changing light, <br />And night and day, thy power confess; <br />But the blest volume thou hast writ <br />Reveals thy justice and thy grace. <br /> <br />Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise <br />Round the whole earth, and never stand; <br />So when thy truth began its race, <br />It touched and glanced on every land. <br /> <br />Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest <br />Till through the world thy truth has run <br />Till Christ has all the nations blest, <br />That see the light or feel the sun. <br /> <br />Great Sun of righteousness, arise, <br />Bless the dark world with heavenly light: <br />Thy gospel makes the simple wise; <br />Thy laws are pure, thy judgments right.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-xix-the-heavens-declare-thy-glory-lord/
