How Beautiful

How beautiful the works of God!
The flowers, the tree,
the sky, the sod!

Revealing truths of faith and light;
Of grace, of trust,
 of hope, of right!

And from the flower,
the mustard seed,
Christ gathered lessons
for His creed.

He told men of the birds that fly;
The city on a hill near by;
The vine, the grass,
 the lamb, the rock;
The lilies and the shepherd's flock;
The flower, the tree, 
the sky, the sod ---
How beautiful the works of God!
