Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Sing to the Lord #20 (2009) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: The heav'ns declare thy glory, Lord Lyrics: 1 The heav'ns declare thy glory, Lord;
in ev'ry star thy wisdom shines;
but when our eyes behold thy Word,
we read thy name in fairer lines.
2 Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise
round the whole earth, and never stand;
so when thy truth began its race
it touched and glanced on ev'ry land.
3 Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest
till through the world thy truth has run,
till Christ has all the nations blesd'd
that see the light or feel the sun.
4 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise!
Bless the dark world with heav'nly light,
Thy gospel makes the simple wise;
thy laws are pure, thy judgments right.
5 Thy noblest wonders here we view
in souls renewed, and sins forgiv'n;
Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew,
and make thy Word my guide to heav'n. Topics: Mission and Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: BOULDER
