A soaring melody brings a lightness to this beautiful psalm about God’s revelation in both creation and scripture.

 

The Heavens Declare (Psalm 19)

Tune: The Lark in the Clear Air

Words: Kiran Young Wimberly © 2018

 

The heavens declare your works
And the skies proclaim your glory
Day by day they tell of you
Night by night your wisdom reveal
They speak but without words
No sound is heard from within them
Yet their words go to all the earth
And their voice to all the world

In the heav’ns God has placed the sun
From the dawn until the gloaming
Like a champion on her course
With joy and strength goes forth
God’s words refresh the soul
Making wise the simple-hearted
Giving joy from their radiance
They will shine forevermore

They are more precious than gold
More precious than pure gold
They are sweeter than honeycomb
And to keep them, great reward
May the meditations of my heart
Be pleasing in your sight
For you are my Redeemer
And my Rock in whom I trust
