Text:

Brought out by patient telescopes,
uncounted, distant stars are found,
while, clarified in microscopes,
the watchworks of our cells astound.
The breadth, the detail, that we see
prove more than skill and artistry—
Such pow'r, Creator, we can't grasp...
or that you'd hear what we would ask.

Beside your power, tenderness!
No sparrow falls that you don't know!
We love things grand and splendorous;
you cherish small ones, even so.
We picture creatures you have made—
each one unique! They're Love displayed!
We mark this, too, Good God: your plans
to care for all with open hand.

Through heav'ns or earth, who's like you, God?
Your Son and Spirit show us much:
how love from you seeks on and on
beyond what we would call "enough."
Such pow'r and love as you've combined
expands our hearts, breaks open minds....
Creator, still we see your ways             Creative Trinity, your ways,
providing us new cause for praise.        ongoing, give new cause for praise.
