Author: John W. Peterson Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #56 (1974) Meter: 8.5.8.5 D Lyrics: 1 God of everlasting glory,
Filling earth and sky,
Everywhere Thy wonders open
To our searching eye:
In our telescopic probing--
Light-years from our world,
In the atom's theoried structure
Science has unfurled.
2 As we push man's frontiers forward
Into outer space,
Reaching for the stars and planets,
Still Thy hand we trace;
In the lab'ratory's silence,
Where Thy secrets hide,
There the marvels of creation
Are for us supplied.
3 In the open book of nature
Faith remains unmoved--
Patterns of the Master Builder
By each fact are proved;
So with rev'rent hearts we ponder
All the grand design
Of the universe around us,
Wrought by hands divine.
4 Through the course of human hist'ry
Has Thy purpose run,
And in substance have we seen Thee
In Thy glorious Son:
He it was who came to save us
And our hopes to raise--
God of everlasting glory,
Thy great name we praise!
Amen. Topics: Adoration; Education Schools, Colleges; God the Father in Nature; God the Father Majesty and Power; Schools Scripture: Psalm 104:31 Languages: English Tune Title: BRETON ROAD
