NATURE SPEAKS OF GOD.

How beautiful this world, O Lord!
On every side thy hand I see;
The earth is with thy bounties stored,
All nature seems to speak of thee!
Oh, teach a little child to know
And love that God who made them so!

Each fowl that swiftly wings the air,
And warbling birds on every tree,
All claim our heavenly Father’s care,
And they, too, seem to speak of thee.
Oh, teach a little child to know
And love that God who made them so!

The air, the ocean, and the land
Are full of life as they can be,
And all from thy kind, bounteous hand
Receive supplies of food from thee.
Oh, teach a little child to know
That glorious God who loves them so!

And thou, my Father, dost provide
A happy home and friends for me;
My daily wants are all supplied,
And all proceeds alone from thee.
Oh teach a little child to know
That glorious God who loves him so!
