Light in the Valley ‎#133

133. Duke Street

1 Awake, my tongue, thy tribute bring,
To Him who gave thee pow'r to sing;
Praise Him who is all praise above,
The source of wisdom and of love.

2 How vast His knowledge! how profound!
A deep where all our thoughts are drowned;
The stars He numbers and their names,
He gives to all those heav'nly flames.

3 Thro' each bright world above, behold,
Ten thousand thousand charms unfold,
Earth, air, and mighty seas combine
To spead His wisdom all divine.

4 But in redemption, O what grace!
Its wonders, O what thought can trace,
Here wisdom shines forever bright;
Praise Him, my soul, with sweet delight.
