Help,please

[midget]

I have been pestered for several days by 2 lines of a hymn, but I can't remember the beginning of it. The two lines are;

"Forever singing as they shine
The hand that made us is divine"

Please will someone put me out of my misery, and tell me the beginning?

The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim.
Forever singing, as they shine,
The hand that made us is divine.
- Joseph Addison,
Ode--The Spacious Firmament on High

Maggie!! Any time you get odd quotes, or even partial quotes, buzzing round your head: Google is your friend
It rarely lets me down.

You have given away the secret of my prodigious memory Jo.

I was going to add: "...." or Mary either, apparently", but I thought I'd give you the benefit of the doubt just in case. I'm relieved to know you are just like all the rest of us

I swear it is due to having children that I have "senior" moments.... Mind you these days with google on line, or text to GOD you can get everything you need to know!

I bet Mary just KNEW the hymn!

[englishangel]

Nope, never heard it before.

I'm sure you knew the words of Queenie's Latin bus poem anyway, Mary! Who could doubt it?

[englishangel]

I remembered it vaguely but didn't know the words.
