Ps
147:16
All
beautiful the march of days, as seasons come and go;
Hath sent
the hoary frost of heaven, the flowing waters sealed,
And laid a
silent loveliness on hill and wood and field.
O'er white
expanses sparkling pure the radiant morns unfold;
The solemn
splendors of the night burn brighter than the cold;
Life mounts
in every throbbing vein, love deepens round the hearth,
And clearer
sounds the angel hymn, "Good will to men on earth."
O Thou from
Whose unfathomed law the year in beauty flows,
Thyself the
vision passing by in crystal and in rose,
Day unto day
doth utter speech, and night to night proclaim,
In ever
changing words of light, the wonder of Thy Name.
