Nature, with Open Volume, Stand
}
Nature, with open volume, stand
To spread her Maker's praise abroad;
And ev'ry labor of His hands
Shows something worthy of a God.
But, in the grace that rescued man,
His brightest form of glory shines;
Here, on the cross, 'tis fairest drawn
In precious blood, and crimson lines.
O the sweet wonders of that cross
Where God, the Saviour, loved and died!
Her noblest life my spirit draws
From His dear wounds and bleeding sigh.
I would forever speak His name
In sounds to mortal ears unknown;
With angels join to praise the Lamb,
And worship at His Father's throne.
