There Is a Book

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 show
How 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 place
By 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.
