536- God Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens

Christian Life: Guidance

1

  • God, who stretched the spangled heavens
  • Infinite in time and place,
  • Flung the suns in burning radiance
  • Through the silent fields of space;
  • We, Your children in Your likeness,
  • Share inventive powers with You;
  • Great Creator, still creating,
  • Show us what we yet may do.

2

  • We have ventured worlds undreamed of
  • Since the childhood of our race;
  • Known the ecstasy of winging
  • Through untraveled realms of space,
  • Probed the secrets of the atom,
  • Yielding unimagined power,
  • Facing us with life's destruction
  • Or our most triumphant hour.

3

  • As each far horizon beckons,
  • May it challenge us anew:
  • Children of creative purpose,
  • Serving others, honoring You.
  • May our dreams prove rich with promise;
  • Each endeavor well begun;
  • Great Creator, give us guidance
  • Till our goals and Yours are one.
