Hymn 460
There is a book, who runs may read
1
There is a book, who runs may read,
Which heav’nly truth imparts;
And all the lore its scholars need,
Pure eyes and Christian hearts.
2
The works of God above, below,
Within us and around,
Are pages in that book to show
How God Himself is found.
3
The glorious sky embracing all,
Is like the Maker’s love,
Wherewith encompass’d great and small,
In peace and order move.
4
One Name, above all glorious names,
With its ten thousand tongues,
The everlasting sea proclaims,
Echoing angelic songs.
5
Thou who hast giv’n me eyes to see
And love this sight so fair,
Give me a heart to find out Thee,
And read Thee everywhere.
