Reflecting His Glory

Reflecting His Glory

 

The beauty of the Earth displays true providence

The hills declare his worth-Delighting every sense

The mountains and the fields cry out-The rivers sing his song

The daylight drives out every doubt-That man can raise eíre long.

 

The World is a witness to His Master Design

The manifold fitness of kind begetting its kind

Each cry of each creature-An echo of Paradise

Each familiar feature sings the Song of Sacrifice.

 

Reflecting His Glory, reflecting His grace

Earthís telling the story of our Creatorís embrace

For to Him and for Him and through Him it sings

All nature resounds-Till heavenís Earthbound

And every creature crowns Lord Jesus as King.

 

In living and dying, in rising again

Each sunup and sundown-Each season defends

The truth of His Wisdom, His creative art

He would paint his Sonís picture on each hungry heart.

 

Reflecting His Glory, reflecting His grace

Earthís telling the story of our Creatorís embrace

For to Him and for Him and through Him it sings

All nature resounds-Till heavenís Earthbound

And every creature crowns Lord Jesus as King.
