O That Men Would!

By Flora E. Warren

O that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! Ps. 107:8.

The heavens tell God's wondrous might; The strength of Him who stretched them out; The sun declares that "God is light," To every land the world about; Night unto night shows "God is wise," Who formed the earth and sea and skies; The heavens say that "God is good." O that men would!

The earth repeats the story o'er — That "God is life," and "God is love;" Each living breath, and ocean's roar, Declare His praise, who reigns above. The mountain heights proclaim Him King; The little birds His goodness sing; The blossoms praise Him, as they should. O that men would!

God waits to hear from men some word — Some thankful word — and grateful song Each day — as from each little bird; He waits to hear — has waited long. Each day men take from God above, The wondrous tokens of His love. Then praise His name, for He is good. O that men would!

herit the kingdom to reign with Him; for when He shall appear, they shall be like Him. 1 John 3:2. They too must love righteousness and hate iniquity if they are to be with Him.
