EN 613 Behold, the Lofty Sky
Ps.19.1
Versi Version 1
1
Behold, the lofty sky
Declares its Maker God.
And all His starry works on high
Proclaim His power abroad.
2
The darkness and the light
Still keep their course the same;
While night to day, and day to night,
Divinely teach His Name.
3
In every different land,
Their general voice is known;
They show the wonders of His Hand,
And orders of His throne.
4
Ye Christian hearts, rejoice,
[originally, Ye British lands, rejoice]
Here He reveals His Word;
We are not left to nature’s voice
To bid us know the Lord.
5
His statutes and commands
Are set before our eyes;
He puts His Gospel in our hands,
Where our salvation lies.
6
His laws are just and pure,
His truth without deceit,
His promises for ever sure
And His rewards are great.
7
Not honey to the taste
Affords so much delight,
Nor gold that has the furnace passed
So much allures the sight.
8
While of Thy works I sing,
Thy glory to proclaim,
Accept the praise, my God, my King
In my Redeemer’s Name.
