Honor to the Hills 96
Lyrics: Elder Hibard ?
Tune: Jeremiah Ingalls
Meter: P.M.
Through all this world below, God we see all around,
Search hills and valleys through, there He's found
In growing fields of corn;
The lily and the thorn,
The pleasant and forlorn,
All declare God is there;
In meadows dress'd in green, There He's seen.
See springing waters rise, fountains flow, rivers run;
The mist beclouds the sky, hides the sun:
Then down the rain doth pour,
The ocean it doth roar,
And break upon the shore,
All to praise in their lays,
A God that ne'er declines His designs.
The sun with all his rays, speaks of God as he flies;
The comet in its blaze, God it cries,
The shining of the stars,
The moon when she appears,
His dreadful name declares:
See them fly through the sky,
And join the silent sound from the ground.
Then let my station be, here in life, where I see
The sacred Trinity all agree,
In all the works He's made,
The forest and the glade,
Nor let me be afraid,
Though I dwell on the hill,
Where Nature's works declare, God is there.
