Poems (Edwards)/God's Witnesses
GOD'S WITNESSES.
They are around us everywhere,
Air, ocean, woods, proclaim a God,
In every thing we see the prints
Where his eternal steps have trod;
We see them in the winds that rush
In fierce tornadoes through the air,
We see them in the lightning's flash;
We see that God is everywhere.
Air, ocean, woods, proclaim a God,
In every thing we see the prints
Where his eternal steps have trod;
We see them in the winds that rush
In fierce tornadoes through the air,
We see them in the lightning's flash;
We see that God is everywhere.
The stars that roll with mighty speed
Through yon immense blue field afar,
Speak to each heart this thrilling truth,
That God's own hand has placed them there;
The sun that sheds the beams of day,
The beams that gladden every eye,
The moon, with soft and holy light,
All teach, He fills both earth and sky.
Through yon immense blue field afar,
Speak to each heart this thrilling truth,
That God's own hand has placed them there;
The sun that sheds the beams of day,
The beams that gladden every eye,
The moon, with soft and holy light,
All teach, He fills both earth and sky.
The countless flowers that bloom in spring,
And spread their soft perfume around,
Breathe in the thoughtful list'ner's ear,
In these, God's witnesses are found;
The rippling brook, the rushing stream,
The forest wide, the bounding sea,
The mountains, hills and verdant plains,
All speak a present God to me.
And spread their soft perfume around,
Breathe in the thoughtful list'ner's ear,
In these, God's witnesses are found;
The rippling brook, the rushing stream,
The forest wide, the bounding sea,
The mountains, hills and verdant plains,
All speak a present God to me.
