GOD'S MAJESTY |
||||
|

Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. |
What though, in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found; In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; For ever singing, as they shine, " The hand that made us is divine."
J. Addison, 1712 |

2 Light, and love, and life are Thine,
Great Creator of all good; r Fill our souls with light divine; Give us with our daily food Blessings from Thy heavenly store, Blessings rich for evermore. |
3 Graft within our heart of hearts Love undying for Thy name; Bid us ere the day departs
Spread afar our Maker's fame: Young and old together bless, Clothe our souls with righteousness. |

4 Full of years, and full of peace, May our life on earth be blest; When our trials here shall cease,
And at last we sink to rest, Fountain of eternal love, Call us to our home above. |
