The God who built the lofty sky
Author: Edward Earl Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The God who built the lofty sky,
And gave the vast creation birth,
Looks down from Heav’n with pitying eye,
E’en on the humblest thing of earth.
2 From Him the stars derived their birth;
He filled the channels of the sea;
His are the flowers that deck the earth,
And His—delightful thought—are we.
3 Yes, down to us His care extends,
His gracious mercy we partake,
He gives us food, and health, and friends,
And shields us sleeping or awake.
4 O, may our lips, attuned to praise,
Express the fervor of our hearts,
His may we be through all our days,
And His in Heav’n when life departs. Used With Tune: EARL Text Sources: The Silver Chime by George F. Root (Boston: Henry Tolman, 1862)

Anonymous
Composer of "EARL" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
