XXVI. 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 heav'n'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 glorious 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 the sweet beauties of thy grace
Our softer passions move;
Pity divine in JESUS' face
We see, adore, and love.
