026) Psalm 19
8.6.8.6.
1 The heav’ns declare thy glory, Lord, which that alone can fill; The firmament and stars express their great Creator’s skill.
2 The dawn of each returning day fresh beams of knowledge brings; From darkest night’s successive rounds divine instruction springs.
3 Their pow’rful language to no realm or region is confined;
’Tis nature’s voice, and understood alike by all mankind.
4 Their doctrine does its sacred sense through earth’s extent display; Whose bright contents the circling sun does round the world convey.
5 No bridegroom, for his nuptials dressed, has such a cheerful face; No giant does like him rejoice to run his glorious race.
6 From east to west, from west to east, his restless course he goes; And through his progress cheerful light and vital warmth bestows.
