1 Many and great, O God, are your works, maker of earth and sky.
Your hands have set the heavens with stars;
your fingers spread the mountains and plains.
Lo, at your word the waters were formed; deep seas obey your voice.
2 Grant unto us communion with you, O star-abiding One.
Come unto us and dwell with us;
with you are found the gifts of life.
Bless us with life that has no end, eternal life with you. Topics: Confessing Faith; Creation God as Creator; God Power of; God Presence of; God Works of; Indigenous Communities Resources Related to; Salvation Scripture: Psalm 40:5 Languages: Dakota Tune Title: LACQUIPARLE
