THE VISIBLE CREATION.
The God of Nature and of Grace
In all his works appears;
His goodness through the earth we trace,
His grandeur in the spheres.
In all his works appears;
His goodness through the earth we trace,
His grandeur in the spheres.
Behold this fair and fertile globe,
By Him in wisdom plann'd;
'Twas He, who girded, like a robe,
The ocean round the land.
By Him in wisdom plann'd;
'Twas He, who girded, like a robe,
The ocean round the land.
Lift to the firmament your eye;
Thither his path pursue;
His glory, boundless as the sky,
O'erwhelms the wondering view.
Thither his path pursue;
His glory, boundless as the sky,
O'erwhelms the wondering view.
