| Great God, The Heav Ns Well-Ordered Frame
|
Great God, the heavns well-ordered frame
Declares the glories of thy name:
There thy rich works of wonder shine;
A thousand starry beauties there,
A thousand radiant marks appear
Of boundless power and skill divine.
2. From night to day, from day to night,
The dawning and the dying light
Lectures of heavnly wisdom read;
With silent eloquence they raise
Our thoughts to our Creators praise,
And neither sound nor language need.
3. Yet their divine instructions run
Far as the journeys of the sun,
And every nation knows their voice:
The sun, like some young bridegroom dressed,
Breaks from the chambers of the east,
Rolls round, and makes the earth rejoice.
4. Whereer he spreads his beams abroad,
He smiles and speaks his Maker God
All nature joins to show thy praise:
Thus God in evry creature shines;
Fair is the book of natures lines,
But fairer is thy book of grace.
5. I love the volumes of thy word;
What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls benighted and distressed!
Thy precepts guide my doubtful way,
Thy fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy promise leads my heart to rest.
6. From the discoveries of thy law
The perfect rules of life I draw;
These are my study and delight:
Not honey so invites the taste,
Nor gold that hath the furnace past
Appears so pleasing to the sight.
7. Thy threatnings wake my slumbring eyes,
And warn me where my danger lies;
But tis thy blessed gospel, Lord,
That makes my guilty conscience clean,
Converts my soul, subdues my sin,
And gives a free, but large reward.
8. Who knows the errors of his thoughts?
My God, forgive my secret faults,
And from presumptuous sins restrain:
Accept my poor attempts of praise,
That I have read thy book of grace,
And book of nature, not in vain. |
