Celebrating Grace Hymnal ‎#28

28. Many and Great

1 Many and great, O God, are Thy works,
Maker of earth and sky.
Thy hands have set the heavens with stars;
Thy fingers spread the mountains and plains.
Lo, at Thy word the waters were formed;
deep seas obey Thy voice.

2 Grant unto us communion with Thee,
Thou star abiding one;
come unto us and dwell with us;
with Thee are found the gifts of life.
Bless us with life that has no end,
eternal life with Thee.
