Light up their eyes to brighten night
The moon it joins them hand in hand
With reflective face to a greater light
Of burning sun of daylight hours
Yet her fiery face the clouds can hide
To sprinkle earth with gleeful showers
Filling streams rejoicing of mountainside
Mighty thunders clap, loud their voice
Plaintive winds they wail to harmonise
High mountains sing, the vales rejoice
From all creation praise does arise
Giving glory alone for their birth
From words just spoken and it was done
To mighty God who formed the earth
The Father, Spirit and the Son
Yet all nature who reflects His power
To lift up mountains and spread the seas
To clothe the fields with grass and flower
And plant the forest with her trees
Shall be one day as a scroll
Folded by His hand to be no more
When mighty waves of the ocean roll
Cease their breaking on the sandy shore
They of temporary station here
Of firmament, land and sea
For awhile will just appear
And then shall cease to be
Yet they can speak of glory
And know from whence it came
For from beginning is their story
When from His words they came
Look and see and know He is
In the message that they deliver
They exalt His name yet knowing this
They will not exist forever
Yet we who know and understand
Although from dust we came
Who put ourselves in the Creator’s hand
Shall forever praise His name
