The glory of the Lord, The heavens declare abroad

Verse 1

The glory of the Lordn The heav’ns declare abroad; The firmament displays The handiwork of God; Day unto day declareth speech, And night to night doth knowledge teach.

Verse 2

Aloud they do not speak, They utter forth no word, Nor into language break; Their voice is never heard; Their line thro’ all the earth extends, Their words to earth’s remotest ends.

Verse 3

In them He for the sun Hath set a dwelling place, Rejoicing as a man Of strength to run a race; He, bridegroom-like in his array, Comes from his chamber, bringing day.

Verse 4

His daily going forth Is from the end of Heav’n; The firmament to him Is for his circuit given— His circuit reaches to its ends, And everywhere his heart extends.
