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 His 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.

HE spacious firmament on high,

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.

C. M.

E sing the almighty power of God
Who bade the mountains rise,

Who spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.

2 We sing the wisdom that ordain'd
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;
