The moon is not as far as we are told	A
The universe is not so very old	A
The stars are not suns to earth shall they fall	B
Those shining daily circling spheres are small	B
And children to the sun and moon The sun	C
Which like them daily round the earth does run	C
The moon a little slower round earth goes	D
Every day and the very same size shows	D
Herself to be with her husband the sun	C
For he which tells us when the day is done	C
Is also smaller than earth and quite near	E
For it s dark when he hides behind earth s sphere	E
And only then does the moon shine clear bright	F
Proving thereby that it has its own light	F
One can see its light slowly revolving	G
One hundred and eighty degrees shining	G
Always and always it is going round	H
Like a clock ticking but without a sound	H
The sun is higher than the moon and yet	I
Is seen as the same size for they are set	I
Together in the sky and they are far	J
But not as imagined And every star	J
Fixed above them is somewhat higher still	K
At the same height for together they fill	K
Our vision above going round about	L
The earth at the same time But further out	L
No one can see since there is nothing there	M
No void of space no mysterious air	M
No light no fire no gas nor solid thing	G
Nothing at all for our imagining	G
And since these things be so which our eyes see	N
A display of lights which God did decree	N
In the heavens how then can the earth s skies	O
Be so much wider How so vast in size	O
For the stars which were made to be seen count	P
Numbering in thousands is their amount	P
How can earth not to the heavens compare	M
How can the heavens have much room to spare	M
For the heavens only mean the earth s sky	Q
And they re not heavens where the earth does lie	Q
Else the heavens would then not be above	R
For the stars rotate as if they all love	R
The earth for to it they are bound for it	S
They are thus the skies have a ceiling lit	S
The stars are not far away but they re high	Q
With sun and moon they make a deeper sky	Q
Earth s second heaven where no atmosphere	E
Exists and which ends where they do appear	E
The fixed stars are the highest things that swim	T
In the universe s outermost rim	T
Waters above the heavens turning round	H
From east to west are furthest from the ground	H
And swirling make the sun and moon s motion	C
As if they were like ships on an ocean	C
So moved they are by surrounding forces	U
And so they run daily on their courses	V
The stars themselves are in the waters flow	W
And hence they twinkle with flickering glow	W
But the wandering stars that are below	W
Are free to move whichever way they go	W
Beneath these planets is the atmosphere	E
Herein the clouds form where the LORD is near	E
The LORD who is God he rides upon clouds	X
And like a veil they his Spirit enshrouds	X
This first heaven is for his chariot	Y
Through its thick dark mist he breaks the quiet	Y
He walks on the wings of the wind he whirls	X
About the world beneath the sparkling pearls	X
The lightnings are the thunders of his voice	X
Which though they may hurt or kill I rejoice	X
The meek in heart God is yet a lion	C
And he roars from the north pole from Sion	C
He sends forth his command from there above	R
In the north celestial pole dwells sweet love	R
There is the hope of hearts Jerusalem	Z
Like a dream like an untouchable gem	A2
Its immaterial matter is ablaze	X
Gold palaces burn in endless amaze	X
God does nothing except in his wisdom	Z
In love in chastening for his kingdom	Z
And he burns up the wicked with arrows	X
Flames from his mouth and bright light he bellows	X
For he is the mighty LORD of thunder	B2
The true God with Jesus Son of wonder	B2
He casts stones from heaven as he pleases	X
And with his hand a lightning sword seizes	X
Angels chariots and horses of fire	B2
He wields in his will to fulfill desire	B2
Swifter than eagles swift as the whirlwind	C2
Chariots and horses fly and exscind	C2
The wicked He casts a glittering spear	E
And ball lightning in mystery floats near	E
His anger and rebuke are flames of fire	B2
Yet born of music softer than a lyre	D2
His Spirit is love softer than the sea	X
Yet from waves tempest tossed the wicked flee	X
Wrath is as the wind on a sea of calm	E2
Love deadly but at heart a healing balm	E2
In the first heaven of clouds God does roam	F2
Yet the north celestial pole is his home	F2
To Jerusalem the pure in spirit	C2
Go and there with the King of kings they sit	C2
In his bosom dwelling and therein lit	C2
Shining like the sun and as golden writ	C2
In his shining eyes speak eternal love	R
Utter words in the sweetness of the Dove	R
The LORD S children in their childlikeness gleam	G2
As if they were his deep celestial dream	G2
But better than any phantom image	H2
They ever make the smiles of his visage	H2
Their joy is not to be pleased but to please	X
Thus Lord Jesus died for them to appease	X
The wrath of God which they did not deserve	I2
For unknowingly they did Satan serve	I2
For though their flesh sinned their spirit did not	C2
Thus for God to distinguish the bad lot	C2
From the good and not in rage against sin	C
Commit injustice Jesus died and in	C
Him we died as perfectly resisting	G
Sin for his flesh was the representing	G
Of us all as perfectly obedient	C2
For that righteousness was our true intent	C2
For Satan made our white appear as black	J2
But Jesus took that sin and changed it back	J2
Bearing our sin meant interpreting it	C2
As it really is as righteousness lit	C2
Up in God the bright Sun of righteousness	X
Showing us to God as pure in whiteness	X
Through his own spotless grand obedient act	C2
For his death showed our innocence as fact	C2
In the heart of God to his emotion	C
To still him to calm the enraged ocean	C
That God who is love a fiery Spirit	C2
Would not unjustly send into the pit	C2
His own children who were entangled in	C
With their flesh the wicked doers own sin	C
That there might be a true separation	C
In the heart of God through the elation	C
Of seeing in Jesus his own children	C
As spotless as he and as distinct then	C
As he is from the wicked For Jesus	X
The offering for his children pleases	X
The heart of God in a perfect manner	B2
And thus Christ s cross is our only banner	B2
Behold the pain that made crimson sin white	C2
That interpreted darkness as pure light	C2
Behold the pain the banner does declare	M
And into this banner of Christ s cross stare	M
Gaze till sin is stripped naked and made fair	M
Till you see yourself as righteousness there	M
