Lord of the Heavens

Lord of the Heavens

 

In the Lord of the heavens put thou thy trust,

 For all His ways are holy and just.

 

So oft as a bird to the mountain ye flee,

 Where the Lord of Creation will there shelter thee.

 

O Lord our Lord, how excellent Thy Name!

 Thou changest not; Thou art ever the same.

 

When thou seest the stars, or consider the moon,

 Or think of the sun shining brightly at noon;

 

Wonderest thou not why He keeps thee in mind?

 Nor why all thy clouds are always gold-lined?

 

Sing and be happy!  Be glad and rejoice!

 Honour and praise Him with whole heart and voice!

 

He saves thee and keeps thee as the apple of His eye;

 His love is unending--to the Sheltering Rock fly!
