19.Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20.For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21.Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,”

Romans 8:22-25 (King James Version)
..’ 22.For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23.And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24.For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25.But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.”

“come thou fount of every blessing
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
By: Robert Robinson, 1735-90
Come, Thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
While the hope of endless glory
Fills my heart with joy and love,
Teach me ever to adore Thee;
May I still Thy goodness prove.

Thank you, geologist. “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”, is one of my favorite hymns.
