Behold! the lofty sky

Declares its maker, God;

And all his starry works, on high,

Proclaim his power abroad.

2 The darkness and the light

Still keep their course the same;

While night to day, and day to night,

Divinely teach his name.

3 In every different land,

Their general voice is known;

They show the wonders of his hand,

And orders of his throne.

4 Ye Christian lands! rejoice;

Here he reveals his word;

We are not left to nature’s voice,

To bid us know the Lord.
