Great Songs of the Church (Revised) ‎#97

97. God of the Earth, the Sky, the Sea

1 God of the earth, the sky, the sea, Maker of all above, below, Creation lives and moves in Thee, Thy present life through all doth flow.

2 Thy love is in the sunshine’s glow, Thy life is in the quickening air; When lightnings flash and storm-winds blow, There is Thy power; Thy law is there.

3 We feel Thy calm at evening’s hour, Thy grandeur in the march of night; And when Thy morning breaks in power, We hear Thy Word, "Let there be light!"

4 But higher far, and far more clear, Thee in man’s spirit we behold; Thine image and Thyself are there. Indwelling God, proclaimed of old. Amen.
