The universe must operate
to order and precise degree
Nothing is early or is late
And runs to the divine decree
A wondrous Hand to actuate
and hold the universal key.
Mankind in independence will
Tread in a path of mortal pride
A path that always leads downhill
And with God's order will collide
Disorder reigns, as human skill
is paramount, and God defied.
The only way for order now
is, as always it has been
God has His order, to allow
His purposed Plan to fill the scene
With Truth and Love, His Ways endow
A world of Life, where fields are green.
His restoration will convey
The Price of sin already paid
Secure for the eternal day
But now His Order is displayed
When meeting Christ, the only Way
And on His altar lives are laid.
