Hymnal: Laudes Domini #288 (1884) First Line: God of the world! thy glories shine Lyrics: 1 God of the world! thy glories shine,
Through earth and heaven with rays divine;
Thy smile gives beauty to the flower,
Thine anger to the tempest power.
2 God of our lives! the throbbing heart
Doth at thy beck its action start;
Throbs on, obedient to thy will,
Or ceases at thy fatal chill.
3 God of eternal life! thy love
Doth every stain of sin remove;
The cross, the cross,--—its hallowed light
Shall drive from earth her cheerless night.
4 God of all goodness! to the skies
Our hearts in grateful anthems rise;
And to thy service shall be given
The rest of life, the whole of heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: HAMPTON
