I sing the mighty power of God

1

I sing the mighty power of God,That made the mountains rise,That spread the flowing seas abroad,And built the lofty skies;I sing the wisdom that ordainedThe sun to rule the day;The moon shines full at his command,And all the stars obey.

2

I sing the goodness of the Lord,That filled the earth with food;He formed the creatures with his word,And then pronounced them good.Lord, how thy wonders are displayedWhere'er I turn my eye!If I survey the ground I tread,Or gaze upon the sky!

3

There's not a plant or flower belowBut makes thy glories known;And clouds arise, and tempests blow,By order from thy throne.Creatures that borrow life from theeAre subject to thy care;There 's not a place where we can fleeBut God is present there.
