BEHOLD YOUR GOD!

HARRY HAMPNESS

The budding trees and fragrant flowers,
The leafy boughs and sunny hours,
Earth’s carpet green and dewy sod
Proclaim aloud, “Behold your God!” GCB April 8, 1901, page 132.2

The heavens above, with all their host—
In him alone they make their boast;
Their lifted voice with one accord,
Sounds o’er the earth, “Behold the Lord!” GCB April 8, 1901, page 132.3

Shall man be dumb, and silence keep?
O to our lips let praises leap!
Lord, teach us now our hearts to raise
In songs of everlasting praise. GCB April 8, 1901, page 132.4

Speak in the silence of the soul,
Create anew and make us whole;
Still the proud tones of human voice,
That in thy power we may rejoice. GCB April 8, 1901, page 132.5

Bring rest into the troubled heart,
Let peace remain, and ne’er depart;
Breathe through the holy Sabbath’s bower
Thy messages of love and power. GCB April 8, 1901, page 132.6

Behold your God!—the God of love;
Behold your God!—in heaven above;
Behold him now in earth and sea,
Who gave himself—himself—for thee! GCB April 8, 1901, page 132.7
