Behold The Lofty Sky

ST. THOMAS-Composer Unknown

Behold! The Lofty Sky
}
Behold! the lofty sky
Declares its maker, God;
And all his starry works, on high,
Proclaim his power abroad.

The darkness and the light
Still keep their course the same;
While night to day, and day to night,
Divinely teach his name.

In every different land,
Their general voice is known;
They show the wonders of his hand,
And orders of his throne.

Ye Christian lands! rejoice;
Here he reveals his word;
We are not left to nature's voice,
To bid us know the Lord.

His laws are just and pure
His truth without deceit;
His promises for ever sure,
And his rewards are great.

While of thy works I sing,
Thy glory to proclaim,
Accept the praise, my God, my King!
In my Redeemer's name.
