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 Creatures, as num'rous as they be, are subject to thy care; there's not a place where we can flee, but God is present there. His hand is my perpetual guard, he keeps me with his eye; why should I then forget the Lord, who is forever nigh? Scripture: Genesis 1:1-22 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE
