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.
2
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.
