1 The heav'ns declare Your glory, LORD;
In ev'ry star Your wisdom shines;
But when our eyes behold Your Word,
We read your name in clearer lines.

2 Sun, moon, and stars convey Your praise
'Round the whole earth, and never stand,
So when Your truth began its race,
It touched and glanced on ev'ry land.

3 Nor shall Your spreading gospel rest
Till through the world Your truth has run,
Till Christ has all the nations blessed
That see the light or feel the sun.

4 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Bless the dark world with heav'nly light.
Your gospel makes the simple wise;
Your laws are pure, Your judgments right.

5 Your brilliant wonders here we view,
In souls renewed and sins forgiv'n.
LORD, cleanse my sins, my soul renew,
And make Your Word my guide to heav'n.
