Your Creator

 

The heavens are telling the glory of God

And the firmament proclaims God’s handiwork.

Psalm 19:1

The spacious firmament on high

With all the blue ethereal sky

And spangled heavens, a shining frame

Their great Original proclaim.

The unwearied sun, from day to day,

Does his Creator’s power display.

And publishes to every land

The work of an Almighty hand.

 

Soon as the evening shades prevail,

The moon takes up the wondrous tale;

And nightly to the listening earth

Repeats the story of her birth.

While all the stars that round her burn,

And all the planets in their turn

Confirm the tidings as they roll,

And spread the truth from pole to pole.

 

In reason’s ear they all rejoice,

And utter forth a glorious voice

Forever singing as they shine,

“The hand that made us is divine.”

-Joseph Addison, 1712
