O Lord of Every Shining Constellation


O Lord of every shining constellation
That wheels in splendor through the midnight sky
Grant us your Spirit's true illumination
To read the secrets of your work on high

You, Lord, have made the atom's hidden forces
Your laws its mighty energies fulfill
Teach us to whom you give such rich resources
In all we use to serve your holy will

You, Lord, have stamped your image on your creatures
And, though they mar that image, love them still
Lift up our eyes to Christ that in His features
We may discern the beauty of Your will

Great Lord of nature, shaping and renewing
You made us more than nature's sons to be
You help us tread with grace our souls enduring
The road to life and immortality


Stumbled onto this hymn and liked it.
