Behold, the Lofty Sky

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #438 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. 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 hearts, rejoice, [originally, Ye British lands, rejoice] Here He reveals His Word; We are not left to nature’s voice To bid us know the Lord. 5. His statutes and commands Are set before our eyes; He puts His Gospel in our hands, Where our salvation lies. 6. His laws are just and pure, His truth without deceit, His promises for ever sure And His rewards are great. 7. Not honey to the taste Affords so much delight, Nor gold that has the furnace passed So much allures the sight. 8. While of Thy works I sing, Thy glory to proclaim, Accept the praise, my God, my King In my Redeemer’s name. Languages: English Tune Title: DOMINICA

Part II. 9 Behold the morning sun Begins his glorious way; His beams through all the nations run, And life and light convey. 10 But where the Gospel comes, It spreads diviner light, It calls dead sinners from their tombs, And gives the blind their sight. 11 How perfect is thy word! And all thy judgments just, For ever sure thy promise, Lord, And men securely trust. 12 My gracious God, how plain Are thy directions giv’n! Oh may I never read in vain, But find the path to heaven! 13 I heard thy word with love, And I would fain obey: Send thy good spirit from above To guide me lest I stray. 14 Oh who can ever find The errors of his ways? Yet with a bold presumptuous mind I would not dare transgress. 15 Warn me of every sin, Forgive my secret faults, And cleanse this guilty soul of mine, Whose crimes exceed my thoughts. 16 While with my heart and tongue I spread thy praise abroad; Accept the worship and the song, My Saviour and my God.
