1. The heavens declare God’s glory.
The skies proclaim his deeds.
The days create an endless thread
that the nights entwine in praise.
The heavens declare.
The heavens declare.

2. The song that they are singing
no language can contain.
Yet without words their voice is heard
throughout the universe.
The heavens declare.
The heavens declare.
The heavens declare the glory of the Lord.

3. The sun rises in the morning
to bear the torch by day.
The moon runs on from dusk to dawn
to illuminate the Lord.
Illuminate the Lord.

4. The law of the Lord is perfect (reviving the soul)
His testimony sure (making wise the simple)
The precepts of the Lord are right
and fill the heart with joy.

5. The commands of the Lord are radiant (giving light to the eyes)
The fear of the Lord is pure (enduring forever)
The judgements of the Lord are true
and far finer than gold.

The heavens declare.
The heavens declare.
The heavens declare.
The heavens declare God’s glory….
