Distance of a dusky night,
Smoky haze upon the span
Of evening view;
Horizon fades
Beneath the greying band.
Brightness of sunshine
Shielded from sight,
The twinkle of uncountable stars
Begins to fill the night;
A light so lovely,
Though it does not compare
With that of the sun,
And the sun can’t compare
To You.
Creation cries out,
Majesty singing from day on through night,
Dimly reflecting Your glory supreme;
Majestic Creator of everything.

All that is,
All that was,
All that ever shall be;

Your creation’s heart,
A creator’s heart,
Stamped upon all that I see!

Distance of the deep brown eyes,
Smoky haze upon the span;
An evening view
Of simple ones
Who have not heard
Redemptive plan.
Home fires lift
And hearts join close
In a simple little home;
Brightness of hope
Shared in the dark
Of a lost and dreary world.
One little candle
And one small girl,
Found in the chill of the night;
Gift of hope crying out
As Your word is read,
Bringing You into their sight.
A light so rustic,
It cannot compare
To that of the stars or the sun,
And the sun can’t compare
To You;
But your light in that heart,
A glimpse of Your love
Piercing those forces so dark
That grip her simple world.

Creation cries out,
Majesty singing from day on through night,
Dimly reflecting Your glory supreme;
Majestic Creator of everything.

All that is,
All that was,
All that ever shall be;

Your creation’s heart,
A creator’s heart,
Stamped upon all that I see!
