There is a book that all may read
1
There is a book that all may read,Which heavenly truth imparts;And all the lore its scholars need,Pure eyes and Christian hearts.
2
The works of God above, below,Within us, and around,Are pages in that book, to showHow God himself is found.
3
The glorious sky, embracing all,Is like the Maker's love,Wherewith encompassed, great and small,In peace and order move.
4
The dew of heaven is like thy grace,It steals in silence down;But where it falls, the favored placeBy richest fruits is known.
5
Thou who hast given me eyes to see,And love for what is fair,Give me a heart to find out thee,And read thee everywhere.
