Full Moon Rises, Huge and Bright (Sing of God and Science No 5)

This short, simple song, using a very familiar hymn tune, aims to engage young children with a curiosity as to why something happens - and still, even today, leaves a question mark!

Full Moon Rises Huge and Bright

  

Full  moon rises huge and bright,
In the East, a glorious sight.
    God’s great wonders still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

That same night it’s way up high,
Seeming smaller in the sky.
Chorus

Why the difference to our eye?
Ah! It’s still a mystery.
Chorus

Maybe soon, a clever brain
Will explain this vision strange.
Chorus
