Hymn/Song Information

The glory of the Lord The heavens




The glory of the Lord,
The heav’ns declare abroad;
The firmament displays
The handiwork of God;
Day unto day declareth speech,
And night to night doth knowledge teach.


Aloud they do not speak,
They utter forth no word,
Nor into language break;
Their voice is never heard;
Their line thro’ all the earth extends,
Their words to earth’s remotest ends.


In them He for the sun
Hath set a dwelling place,
Rejoicing as a man
Of strength to run a race;
He, bridegroom-like in his array,
Comes from his chamber, bringing day.


His daily going forth
Is from the end of Heav’n;
The firmament to him
Is for his circuit given—
His circuit reaches to its ends,
And everywhere his heart extends.
