“The Heavens Declare Thy Glory, Lord” Watts/Mason
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.
The rolling sun, the changing light, and night and day, Thy power confess;
But the blest volume Thou hast writ reveals Thy justice and Thy grace.
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.
I’m so glad to find others who teach the old hymns to their kids! I feel that it is a lot art. I have nothing against the “contemporary” music. I love it! But there is so much theology and doctrine that can be taught in hymns. I teach hymns to my kids and my Awana children. I love it!!
