What strength has set eternity in our hearts.
God has made things beautiful in their time.
If I use all my powers to pretend
To understand where all creation starts
I cannot comprehend from beginning to end.
When night arrives, a darker air descends;
The skies display a burning mass of stars.
God has made things beautiful in their time.
If indeed you think that you can count them,
Look up at the heavens and count the stars -
I cannot comprehend from beginning to end.
Oak trees in the wind begin to bend;
A fragrance stirs our garden from afar.
God has made things beautiful in their time.
Against the pain that time beings to mend
A gentle whisper makes our fears depart.
For all the books and teaching life imparts
I cannot comprehend from beginning to end -
God has made things beautiful in their time.
