The heavens declare Thy glory, Lord

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 602 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The heavens declare Thy glory, Lord, In every star Thy wisdom shines; But, when our eyes behold Thy word, We read Thy name in fairer lines. 2 The rolling sun, the changing light, And night and day Thy power confess; But the blest volume Thou hast writ Reveals Thy justice and Thy grace. 3 Sun, moon, and stars convey Thy praise Round the whole earth, and never stand; So when Thy truth began its race, It touched and glanced on every land. 4 Nor shall Thy spreading gospel rest Till through the world Thy truth has run; Till Christ has all the nations blest, That see the light or feel the sun. 5 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise, Bless the dark world with heavenly light; Thy gospel makes the simple wise; Thy laws are pure, Thy judgments right.

Littlefield, 1864-1934 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Son of Man, Thou madest known, Through quiet work in shop and home, The sacredness of common things, The chance of life that each day brings. 2 O Workman true, may we fulfill In daily life Thy Father’s will; In duty’s call, Thy call we hear To fuller life through work sincere. 3 Thou Master Workman, grant us grace The challenge of our tasks to face; By loyal scorn of second best, By effort true, to meet each test. 4 And thus we pray in deed and word, Thy kingdom come on earth, O Lord; In work that gives effect to prayer, Thy purpose for Thy world we share.
