I Sing the Mighty Power of God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 471 hymnals Topics: Creator 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 His command And all the stars obey. 2 I sing the goodness of the Lord That filled the earth with food; He formed the creatures with His Word And then pronounced them good. Lord, how Thy 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 Thy glories known; And clouds arise and tempests blow By order from Thy throne; While all that borrows life from Thee Is ever in Thy care, And ev'rywhere that man can be, Thou, God, art present there.
