THERE IS A GOD
The fool hath said, "There is no God"
But Wisdom, hour by hour,
Proclaimeth over land and sea
In sweet unbroken harmony
His glory, love and power.

Who formed the earth, who built the sky,
Who planned the circling year?
Seed time and harvest roll around
We listen—but no jarring sound
In Time's great wheels we hear.
Who planned the circling year?
Seed time and harvest roll around
We listen—but no jarring sound
In Time's great wheels we hear.
Day unto day, night unto night,
For toil and rest designed;
Surely some living mind hath thought
Who spake a universe from naught
Had more than mortal mind.
For toil and rest designed;
Surely some living mind hath thought
Who spake a universe from naught

Some sculptor hand hath formed the earth,
Some architect
Hath reared the heavens to their height,
Some artist with his colors bright
All nature decked.

Who wrought the delicate design
Of leaf and bud?
Who to the bird his music taught,
If as the blinded fool hath thought
There is no God?
Of leaf and bud?
Who to the bird his music taught,
If as the blinded fool hath thought
There is no God?
