And more to be desired far

Than much fine gold are they; The honey and the honeycomb Are not so sweet as they.

By them Thy servant is forewarned To have God in regard;

And in performance of the same There shall be great reward.

But, Lord, what earthly man doth know The errors of his days?

Oh, cleanse me from my secret sins, And make direct my ways.

HE heav'ns declare Thy glory, Lord,

The firmament and stars express Their great Creator's skill.

The dawn of each returning day

Fresh beams of knowledge brings; And from the dark returns of night Divine instruction springs.

Their pow'rful language to no realm Or region is confined;

' Tis nature's voice, and understood Alike by all mankind.

Wide as the circling sun they spread Thy glorious truth abroad;

And teach the wond'ring world to sing The praises of our God.

I.et God the Father, and the Son, And Spirit be ador'd,

Where there are works to make Him known, Or saints to love the Lord.
