God Of The Glorious Sunshine

 

"For He spoke, and it was done: He commanded and it stood fast."
(Psalm 33:9)

"By faith we understand that the worlds during the successive ages
were framed, fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended
purpose by the Word of God, so that what we see was not
made out of things which are visible."
(Hebrews 11:3)

God of the glorious sunshine,

God of refreshing rain,

Whose voice bids earth awaken

And clothe itself again.


With life of riches beauty;

In plant, and flower, and tree;

Thou God of light and splendor,

We rise and worship Thee.

God of the hill and mountain,

Of valley and of dale,

Whose finger paints the rainbows;

Thy beauties never fail


To raise our souls in wonder,

And turn our thoughts to Thee;

Thou God of living nature,

We stand and worship Thee.

God of the busy daytime,

God of the quiet night,

Whose peace pervades the darkness,

And greets us with the light;


Safe with Thy presence near us,

Wherever we may be

Thou God, our great Protector

We love and worship Thee.

God of the whole creation,

God of all life below,

We seek Thy nearer presence,

Thy grander life to know;


When we, Thy heightened splendor,

Thy greater glories see,

Thou God of all creation,

We still shall worship Thee.
