Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #19A (2012) Lyrics: 1 The stars declare his glory;
the vault of heaven springs
mute witness of the Master's hand
in all created things,
and through the silences of space
their soundless music sings.
2 The dawn returns in splendor,
the heavens burn and blaze,
the rising sun renews the race
that measures all our days,
and writes in fire across the skies
God's majesty and praise.
3 So shine the Lord's commandments
to make the simple wise;
more sweet than honey to the taste,
more rich than any prize,
a law of love within our hearts,
a light before our eyes.
4 So order too this life of mine,
direct it all my days;
the meditations of my heart
be innocence and praise,
my rock and my redeeming Lord,
in all my words and ways.
