¶Lyrics / Text

The heavens declare thy glory, Lord; in every star thy wisdom shines; but when our eyes behold thy word, we read thy name in fairer lines. Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise round the whole earth, and never stand; so, when thy truth began its race, it touched and glanced on every land. Nor shall thy spreading Gospel rest till through the world thy truth has run; till Christ has all the nations blest that see the light or feel the sun. Great Sun of Righteousness, arise; bless the dark world with heavenly light; thy Gospel makes the simple wise, thy laws are pure, thy judgements right. Thy noblest wonders here we view, in souls renewed and sins forgiven: Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew, and make thy word my guide to heaven.
