#536God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
Hymn Display
1
God, who stretched the spangled heavens
Infinite in time and place,
Flung the suns in burning radiance
Through the silent fields of space;
2
We have ventured worlds undreamed of
Since the childhood of our race;
Known the ecstasy of winging
Through untraveled realms of space;
3
As each far horizon beckons,
May it challenge us anew:
Children of creative purpose,
Serving others, honoring You.
C
Chorus
We, Your children in Your likeness,
Share inventive powers with You;
Great Creator, still creating,
Show us what we yet may do.
Proud our skills and rich with promise,
Yielding uninspired power,
Facing us with life's destruction
Or our most triumphant hour.
May our dreams prove rich with promise;
Each endeavor well begun;
Great Creator, give us guidance
Till our goals and Yours are one.
