“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.

Verse of the Week: B is for…

“By him all things were created, in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions
or rulers or authorities- all things were created
through him and for him.” -Colossians 1:16


Hymn of the WeeK: “Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies”
Wesley, Gounod

Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise, Triumph o’er the shades of night;
Dayspring from on high, be near; Day star, in my heart appear.

Dark and cheerless is the morn unaccompanied by Thee,
Joyless is the day’s return till Thy mercy’s beams I see;
Till they inward light impart, Glad my eyes and warm my heart.

Visit, then, this soul of mine; Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiancy Divine; Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more Thyself display, Shining to the perfect day.
