536 God Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
[1]
God who stretched the spangled heavens
Infinite in time and place
Flung the suns in burning radiance
Through the silent fields of space;
We Your children in Your likeness
Share inventive powers with You;
Great Creator still creating
Show us what we yet may do.

We have ventured worlds undreamed of
Since the childhood of our race;
Known the ecstasy of winging
Through untraveled realms of space
Probed the secrets of the atom
Yielding unimagined power
Facing us with life s destruction
Or our most triumphant hour.

As each far horizon beckons
May it challenge us anew:
Children of creative purpose
Serving others honoring You.
May our dreams prove rich with promise;
Each endeavor well begun;
Great Creator give us guidance
Till our goals and Yours are one.
