The heavens God's glory declare
- The heavens God's glory declare,
And the sky the work of His hands.
From day to night, to all the earth,
The things of God they speak forth.
God's eternal power and attributes
Though invisible to human eyes,
Through creation they are made manifest,
By things made are realized. - The living God who made all things
Did not leave Himself without witness,
In doing good by filling
Our hearts with food and gladness.
The true, eternal God blesses us
With rain from heav'n and crops from earth.
The God who grants to us earthly wealth—
Remember and praise bring forth. - The Lord who is God of all things
To all men gives life and breath.
He sets their seasons and boundaries
That they might seek and grope for Him.
Our God is hidden, invisible,
The secret of the universe,
The meaning of the universe—
All men should discern this truth. - Th' invisible God, man could see
In creation, yet not completely.
God's person and His image
Through man expressed had yet to be.
So Jesus Christ, God's Beloved, came
To the world in human likeness.
Through Him completely expressed was God—
His nature and all He is. - Mysterious Christ, Savior mine,
Manifested God among men.
God infinite, in eternity,
Yet man in time, finite to be;
O Christ, who is God's embodiment,
God is mingled with man—what good news!
As God yet man, He would enter us
To be our portion blessed. - God's nature was hidden in Him;
God's image, expressed through Him.
In flesh He hast redemption wrought;
As Spirit, oneness with me sought.
Christ was incarnated as the God-man
To redeem us by His shed blood.
In resurrection as Spirit He
Comes into us as our life.
