The universe in God (Vol 1 No 13)
The universe in God (Vol 1 No 13)
All creation sings a story
All creation sings a story
Of great splendours to declare;
Of great splendours to declare;
When we contemplate its beauty
When we contemplate its beauty
We are called forth into prayer.
We are called forth into prayer.
We, enchanted, stand in silence;
We, enchanted, stand in silence;
God discovered everywhere.
God discovered everywhere.
When we stumble on new knowledge,
When we stumble on new knowledge,
When new insights help us grow,
When new insights help us grow,
We are quick to re-discover
We are quick to re-discover
Just how much we do not know.
Just how much we do not know.
But the Universe smiles gently,
But the Universe smiles gently,
As our theories come and go.
As our theories come and go.
Outer space and inner being
Outer space and inner being
Both have secrets they conceal.
Both have secrets they conceal.
Galaxies so grimly awesome,
Galaxies so grimly awesome,
Deep emotions that we feel -
Deep emotions that we feel -
All in God are judged as sacred;
All in God are judged as sacred;
It is God they all reveal.
It is God they all reveal.
Ageless mysteries still excite us;
Ageless mysteries still excite us;
Time and space we must explore.
Time and space we must explore.
God the ‘Presence’ and ‘Surrounding’,
God the ‘Presence’ and ‘Surrounding’,
God the ever wondrous ‘More’ -
God the ever wondrous ‘More’ -
Not just found by science labours,
Not just found by science labours,
But in praise when we adore.
But in praise when we adore.
Tune Praise my soul/Lauda Anima AHB 68 TiS 179
