44. Maker of Earth and Heaven

7,7,8,7.
by H. Weir
1
Maker of earth and heaven,
 
Whose arm upholds creation,
 
To Thee we raise the voice of praise,
 
And bend in adoration.
 
We praise the power that made us,
 
We praise the love that blesses;
 
While every day that rolls away
 
Thy gracious care confesses.
2
Though trials and affliction
 
May cast their shadows o’er us,
 
Thy love doth throw a heavenly glow
 
Of light on all before us;
 
That love has smiled from heaven,
 
To cheer our path of sadness,
 
And lead the way through earth’s dark day,
 
To realms of joy and gladness.
3
The light of love and glory
 
Has shone through Christ our Savior,
 
The Crucified — who lived and died,
 
That we might live forever.
 
And since Thy great compassion
 
Thus brings Thy children near Thee,
 
May we to praise devote our days,
 
And keep forever near Thee.
“Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.” (Acts 11:23)
