God Seen In His Works

Verse 1

There is a God--all nature speaks, Through earth and air and sea and skies: See, from the clouds his glory breaks, When first the beams of morning rise.

Verse 2

The rising sun, serenely bright, O'er the wide world's extended frame Inscribes, in characters of light, His mighty Maker's glorious name.

Verse 3

The flowery tribes, all blooming, rise Above the weak attempts of art; Their bright, inimitable dyes Speak sweet conviction to the heart.

Verse 4

Ye curious minds, who roam abroad, And trace creation's wonders o'er, Confess the footsteps of a God; Come, bow before him, and adore.
