KNOWEST THOU JEHOVAH by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS

With the dawn of morning
Radiant with light,
Comes the sun in glory
Chasing shades of night;
Once again ascendent,
Pausing not to rest,
Lining clouds with splendor,
Sinking in the west.

That is Nature's story
Of a single day,
Of a world revolving,
Passing on its way.
Wouldst thou hear another,
Full of tender love,
That the Scriptures tell us
Of a God above?

Ruler and Creator
Of the universe,
Of the laws that govern
Which He could reverse,
Of thy breath and heart-beat,
Of thy flickering light,
Of thy willful spirit
Waiting for the night.

God of past and present,
Of the times to be,
Of Life's fleeting moments,
Of Eternity,
'Tis the Great Jehovah,
Blessed Trinity,
Father, Son and Spirit,
Knowest thou the Three?
