Hymn/Song Information

Look up ye saints direct your eyes To




Look up, ye saints, direct your eyes
To him who dwells above the skies;
With your glad notes his praise rehearse
Who formed the mighty universe.


He spake; and from the womb of night
At once sprung forth the cheering light;
Him discord heard, and at his nod
Expanded beauty spoke the God.


The word he gave: th' obedient sun
Began his glorious race to run;
Nor silver moon, nor stars delay
To glide along the ethereal way.


Teeming with life, air, earth and sea,
Obey th' Almighty's high decree;
To every tribe he gives their food;
Then speaks the whole divinely good.


But to complete the Wond'rous plan,
From earth and dust he fashions man;
In man the last, in man the best,
The Maker's image stands confest.


Lord, while thy glorious works I view,
Form thou my heart and soul anew ;
Here bid thy purest light to shine,
And beauty glow with charms divine.
