The God who built the lofty sky

Author: Edward Earl Hymnal: SC1862 #33 (1862) Lyrics: 1 The God who built the lofty sky, And gave the vast creation birth, Looks down from Heav’n with pitying eye, E’en on the humblest thing of earth. 2 From Him the stars derived their birth, He fill'd the channels of the sea, His are the flow'rs that deck the earth, And His--delightful thought--are we. 3 Yes, down to us his care extends, His gracious mercy we partake, He gives us food, and health and friends, And shields us sleeping or awake. 4 O, may our lips, attuned to praise, Express the fervor of our hearts, His may we be through all our days, And His in heav’n when life departs!
