His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 This earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old; hath 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree, and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end! Our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend. 6 O measureless Might, ineffable love! While angels delight to hymn thee above, thy humbler creation, though feeble their lays, with true adoration shall sing to thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 104:1-5 Used With Tune: HANOVER
