1. 1 The spacious heav’ns declare
The glory of our God,
The firmament displays
His handiwork abroad;
2 Day unto day proclaims His might,
Day unto day proclaims His might,
And night His wisdom tells to night.
2. 3 Aloud they do not speak,
They utter forth no word,
Nor into language break,
Their voice is never heard;
4 Yet through the world the truth they bear,
Yet through the world the truth they bear
And their Creator’s power declare.
3. The clouds of heav’n are spread,
A tent to hold the sun,
5 And like a bridegroom fair
Comes forth the mighty one,
Rejoicing in his strength and grace,
Rejoicing in his strength and grace
To run his wondrous daily race.
4. 6 His daily going forth
Is from the end of heav’n;
The firmament to him
Is for his circuit given;
His journey reaches to its ends,
His journey reaches to its ends,
And ev’rywhere his heat extends.
