THE ANGELS MARVEL, by                    
First Line: There are stars up in the heavens
Last Line: Is his one creature—man.
Subject(s): Angels; Creation; Heaven; Mankind; Stars; Paradise; Human Race


There are stars up in the Heavens
Beyond where we can reach,
Drops of water in the ocean,
And pebbles on the beach;
There are microbes theorizing
Who often shout and preach;
There are fungi in the classrooms
Who know not what they teach.

The Creator, God of Heaven,
Looks down with tender love
On the things of His creation—
The world and stars above,
While the Angel hosts who serve Him
Still marvel at His plan
For beyond their comprehension
Is His one creature—Man.
