I Sing the Mighty Power

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 485 hymnals Topics: Proper 24 Year A First Line: I sing the mighty power of God 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 the One that filled the earth with food; who formed the creatures with a word and then pronounced them good. O God, your wonders are displayed where’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 below but makes your glories known; and clouds arise and tempests blow, by order from your throne; while all that borrows life from you is ever in your care, and everywhere that I may be, you, God are present there.

How grandly hath thine empire grown of freedom, love, and truth! 4 How gleam thy watch-fires through the night with never-fainting ray! How rise thy towers, serene and bright, to meet the dawning day! 5 In vain the surge's angry shock, in vain the drifting sands: unharmed upon the eternal Rock the eternal city stands.

Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea, chanting bird and flowing fountain, sound their praise eternally. 3 You are giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest, wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest! Source of grace and fount of blessing, let your light upon us shine; teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine. 4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus which the morning stars began; God's own love is reigning o'er us, joining people hand in hand. Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife; joyful music lifts us sunward in the triumph song of life. Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY

We lift them, Lord, to thee; here at thy feet none other may we see: 'lift up your hearts!' E'en so, with one accord, we lift them up, we lift them to the Lord. 2 Above the level of the former years, the mire of sin, the slough of guilty fears, the mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay, O Lord of light, lift all our hearts to-day. 3 Above the swamps of subterfuge and shame, the deeds, the thoughts, that honour may not name, the halting tongue that dares not tell the whole, O Lord of truth, lift every Christian soul. 4 Lift every gift that thou thyself hast given: low lies the best till lifted up to heaven; low lie the bounding heart, the teeming brain, till, sent from God, they mount to God again. 5 Then, as the trumpet-call in after years, 'lift up your hearts!' rings pealing in our ears, still shall those hearts respond with full accord, 'we lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!' Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:14 Used With Tune: WOODLANDS
