The glittering heaven’s refulgent glow,

And sparkling spheres of golden light,

Jehovah’s work and glory show,

By burning day or gentle night.

In silence, through the vast profound,

They move their orbs of fire on high,

Nor speech, nor word, nor answering sound,

Is heard upon the tranquil sky;

Yet to the earth’s remotest bar

Their burning glory all is known;
