Thy love for all Thy creatures What tongue, O God, may tell?

Author: G. Thring Hymnal: Churches of Christ Hymn Book #54 (1974) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Thy love for all Thy creatures What tongue, O God, may tell? The morning, noon, and evening Alike our praise compel. The morning, noon, and evening, Whene'er they rise or fall, Unite to hymn Thy praises, Great Maker of them all. 2 Behold! the sun in splendour Hath lit his fires on high, The farther on his journey, The higher in the sky; And when again he sinketh Beneath the western wave, A radiant crown of glory Shall kindle o'er his grave. 3 May we to whom in mercy A righter light is given, The farther on our journey, The nearer be to heaven: And when the shades of evening Shall lengthen o'er our heads, May rays of heavenly glory Illume our dying beds. 4 Shine! shine! Thou Sun Eternal, And cast a ray divine, On those who hymn Thy praises, Both now and ever shine; For then no cloud of evening Shall gather round the past, But Thou, O Christ, shalt light us Safe home,--safe home at last.

After 1861 Thring wrote many hymns and published several hymnals, including Hymns Congregational (1866), Hymns and Sacred Lyrics (1874), and the respect­ed A Church of England Hymn Book Adapted to the Daily Services of the Church Throughout the Year (1880), which was enlarged as The Church of England Hymn Book (1882).
