The Excelsior Hymnal ‎#37

37. His Marvelous Handiwork

1 Hail to the great Creator,
Wonderful are His ways,
Hail Him, the King Eternal,
Lift now a song of praise;
Ev’ry orb and glist’ning sphere,
All the distant and the near,

Refrain:
Show forth His marvelous handiwork,
Show forth His marvelous handiwork,
Show forth His marvelous handiwork,
And day unto day His praise uttereth forth.

2 Praise we the great Jehovah,
Throned in the realms above;
He is the mighty Saviour,
he is the King of Love;
Pow’r and wisdom He displayed,
All the things that He hath made, [Refrain]

3 Glory and praise be given
Now to the Saviour King,
Up from the whole creation,
Loud let His praises ring;
For His works in ev’ry place
And the wonders of His grace, [Refrain]
