XXIX. A Song to creating Wisdom

1 Eternal wisdom, thee we praise,
Thee the Creation sings:
With thy lov'd name, rocks, hills, and seas,
And heaven's high palace rings.

2 Thy hand how wide it spread the sky!
How glorious to behold!
Ting'd with a blue of heavenly dye,
And starr'd with sparkling gold.

3 Thy glories blaze all nature round,
And strike the gazing sight,
Thro' skies, and seas, and solid ground,
With terror and delight.

4 Infinite strength, and equal skill
Shine thro' the worlds abroad;
Our souls with vast amazement fill,
And speak the builder God.

5 But still the wonders thy grace
Our softer passions move;
Pity divine in Jesus' face
We see, adore and love.
