“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.” (Psalm 19:1-4a)
Whisper the night
O sparkling moon and stars!
Silent carols ringing,
Echo near and far.
Whisper the night
Your muted anthem telling!
Glory and majesty,
Paeans of praises swelling.
Whisper the night
God’s timetable display!
Herald signs and seasons,
Mutely point the way.
Whisper the night
Trumpet voiceless song!
Kingdom ceilidh fills the skies,
Comets dance along.
Whisper the night
God’s knowledge impart!
With unspoken melodies
Revealed to human hearts.
Whisper the night
With speechless declaration!
Mysteries and truth
Revealed to every nation.
