Songs Of Joy

When I see your heavens

 

 

Tune: “Galway bay” Irish folk song

1. When I see your heavens, holy God Almighty;
All the universe so endless and so great;
Sun and moon, the twinkling stars that shine so brightly;
The perfect world your fingers did create;

2. Then I wonder, what is man, my Lord and Master,
that you constantly are mindful of us all?
Your compassion and your love for us is vaster
than anything we`ve known or can recall.




 3. In your bottle you have stored my tears and sorrows.
Every hair upon my head is counted too.
Nothing takes you by surprise, and our tomorrows
are safe within your care when trusting you.

4. Saviour, we would praise your name for our salvation.
You died upon the cross to set us free,
So that one day people from each tribe and nation
Will dwell with you dear Lord eternally.

Psalm 8:3-4, 56:8 + Matthew 10:30
