The glory of your world, Lord, leaves me spellbound

The velvet blackness of the sky at night

With crescent moon and evening star bright blazing

Before the silent coming of the light.

 

Magpies making music in the morning

Pouring out a song of wondrous praise

Sunlight on the sparkling ocean

Warming all the earth in golden rays.

 

The beauty of each tree and leaf and flower

As petals quietly unfurl;

All the lovely jewels of the garden

In shades of ruby, amethyst and pearl.

 

Overarching canopy of forests

The hush of every fern and moss-filled glade

Gurgling streams that hurry to the rivers –

All these wonders you alone have made.

 

The glory of your world, Lord, leaves me spellbound.
