Traditional Swedish melody

1.The heav'ns in their splendor declare
The might and the glory of God,
For day unto day speaks His praise,
And night tells His wisdom abroad.

2.They speak not with audible word,
Yet clear is the message they send;
Their witness goes out thro' the earth,
Their word to the world's farthest end.

3.Forsaking his tent in the sky,
Arrayed as a bridegroom, the sun
Comes forth in his glorious strength,
Rejoicing his circuit to run.

4.He tells thro' the length of the heav'ns
His Maker's great wisdom and might,
And nothing is all of the earth
Is hid from his heat and his light.
