Tune: Langran
('Here now, O Lord, we see thee face to face')
Psalm 19 v.1-6
********
The heavens they do declare the glory
Of God, and the firmament, sky, so be
Shows His handiwork, all them He has made
They all witness, His great power displayed
Day unto day utters speech, and night to
Night shows, reveals, knowledge, them may we view
There is no speech nor language where their voice
Is not heard, let us hear, that be our choice
Their measure is gone throughout all the earth
Thier words to the end world tell His worth
In them He has set a tent for the sun
Who as a strong man rejoices to run
The sun is as a bridegroom coming out
Of his chamber, and all prepare, no doubt
Its going forth is from end of heaven
Its circuit unto the other end then

The waters (gas, clouds, atmosphere) above the waters (sea, lakes, rivers) and the cloud chariot on which He rides.
Thanks CB.
The heavens do truly declare glory if we but gaze upward - thanks for a fine read dear Orchi.
Thanks Fay.
the sky really is something else, isn't it .. that's a figure of speech Mr. O and not an exam question .... 🙂
Thanks N.
This one truly touches my heart. I am awestruck each time I step outside to look at the stars and contemplate the vastness of the heavens. A beautiful write my friend.
Thanks Bella. We have an Eclipse of the Sun on Oct 25 in the UK. Will we see it, or will it cloud over?!
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
