But His mercy waneth never;

God is wisdom, God is love. 3 Even the hour that darkest seemeth,

Will His changeless goodness prove;, From the gloom #is brightness streameth,

God is wisdom, God is love.
4 He with earthly cares entwineth

Hope and comfort from above:
Everywhere His glory shineth;

God is wisdom, God is love.

WORKS.

L. M. MHE spacious firmament on high,

With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim.

2 Th’unwearied sun, from day to day,

Does his Creator's power display,
And publishes to every land

The work of an Almighty hand.
3 Soon as the evening shades prevail,

The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the list’ning earth

Repeats the story of her birth: 4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn,

And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings, as they roll,

And spread the truth from pole to pole. 5 What though in solemn silence all

Move round this dark terrestrial ball
What though no real voice nor sound

Amidst their radiant orbs be found 6 In reason's ear they all rejoice,

And utter forth a glorious voice,
Forever singing as they shine –
The hand that made us is divine.

Who bade the mountains rise,
Who spread the flowing seas abroad,

And built the lofty skies.

The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at His command,

And all the stars obey.
3 We sing the goodness of the Lord,
Who fills the earth with food;
