- 1There is a God--all nature speaks,
- Through earth and air and sea and skies:
- See, from the clouds his glory breaks,
- When first the beams of morning rise.
- 2The rising sun, serenely bright,
- O'er the wide world's extended frame
- Inscribes, in characters of light,
- His mighty Maker's glorious name.
- 3The flowery tribes, all blooming, rise
- Above the weak attempts of art;
- Their bright, inimitable dyes
- Speak sweet conviction to the heart.
- 4Ye curious minds, who roam abroad,
- And trace creation's wonders o'er,
- Confess the footsteps of a God;
- Come, bow before him, and adore.
