The Heavens God’s Glory Do Declare

Text: Psalm 19:1-8Music: Dwight Armstrong

Page 11

The heav'ns God's glo-ry do de-clare,The skies His hand-i-works teach;

Verse 1 of 3

Day af-ter day their speech pours forth, And knowl-edge, night af-ter night.

Verse 1 of 3

There is no speech nor spo-ken word;Their voice is nev-er heard;

Verse 1 of 3

And yet their voice spreads to all the earth, Their words to the ends of the world.

Verse 1 of 3

The heav’ns a tent for the sun He made,

Which comes forth like a bride-groom,

Verse 2 of 3

Leav-ing his cham-ber glow-ing bright,

To run his course with joy.

Verse 2 of 3

From heav-en's end its ris-ing is,Its cir-cuit to its ends;

Verse 2 of 3

And there is noth-ing from its heat,No, noth-ing is hid-den there-of.

Verse 2 of 3

The law of God is a per-fect law,For it con-verts the soul;

Verse 3 of 3

Sure are the say-ings of our God, They make the sim-ple wise.

Verse 3 of 3

Stat-utes of God are right and just,And do re-joice the heart;

Verse 3 of 3

The Lord's com-mand-ments are pure and clear, And light to the mind they im-part.
