THE HEAVENS PROCLAIM (Psalm 19)

Antiphon 1:
        The works of your hands declare your glory O God.
Antiphon 2:
        Lord, open my lips and my mouths shall declare your praise.

1. The heavens proclaim the glory of God,
   And the firmament shows forth the work of his hands.
   Day unto day takes up the story,
   And night unto night makes known the message.
2. No speech, no word, no voice is heard,
   Yet their span goes forth through all the earth.
   Their words to the utmost bounds of the world.
3. There he has placed the tent for the sun;
   It comes forth like a bride-groom coming from his tent
   Rejoices like a champion to run its course.
4. At the end of the sky is the rising of the sun;
   To the furthest end of the sky is its course;
   There is nothing concealed from its burning heat.
