By finger of Your hand in nature writes
Our story that to us you will reveal,
And we, with opened eyes, receive our sight
Of heaven’s union with Your earth made right–
In Him ,by Spirit, truth in us unsealed;
By finger of Your hand in nature writes
Your love for Your creation in its night,
Shown in His nail-scarred hands, bring balm to heal;
And we, with opened eyes, receive our sight
To see that death is not our final blight,
But in its night our remedy concealed;
By finger of Your hand in nature writes
That winter’s death prepares for spring-time’s light
Where to His Cross we death of self will yield;
And we, with opened eyes, receive our sight
Of Him, as fruit of Zion’s Tree of Life;
We see Your New Creation’s Holy Meal.
By finger of Your hand in nature writes,
And we, with opened eyes, receive our sight.
