Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #12 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 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 ordained
the sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at God's command,
and all the stars obey.
2 I sing the goodness of our God
that filled the earth with food;
God formed the creatures with a word,
and then pronounced them good.
Oh, how your wonders are displayed,
where'er I turn my eye:
If I survey the ground I tread,
or gaze upon the sky!
3 On earth there's not a plant or flower
but makes your glories known.
The clouds arise and spread their showers
by order from your throne.
All life is but a gift from you
and ever in your care;
Wherever people gather, you,
O God, are present there. Topics: Adoration and Praise God; God Presence of; God Works in Creation; Year A Trinity Sunday; Year B Proper 17 Scripture: James 1:17 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE
