1 We sing th' almighty power of God,
Who bade the mountains rise,
Who spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.
Who bade the mountains rise,
Who spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.
2 We sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day,
The moon shines, too, at His command,
And all the stars obey.
The sun to rule the day,
The moon shines, too, at His command,
And all the stars obey.
3 We sing the goodness of the Lord,
Who fills the earth with food;
Who formed His creatures by a word,
And then pronounced them good.
Who fills the earth with food;
Who formed His creatures by a word,
And then pronounced them good.
4 Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed,
Where'er we turn our eyes,
Whether we view the ground we tread,
Or gaze upon the skies!
Where'er we turn our eyes,
Whether we view the ground we tread,
Or gaze upon the skies!
5 There's not a plant nor flower below
But makes Thy glories known;
And clouds arise and tempests blow
By order from Thy throne.
But makes Thy glories known;
And clouds arise and tempests blow
By order from Thy throne.
