Hymn

I sing th'almighty power of God

Metre C.M.D.

I sing th' almighty pow'r of God,

That made the mountains rise,

That spread the flowing seas abroad,

And built the lofty skies,

And built the lofty skies.

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,

And then pronounced them good.

Lord! how Thy wonders are displayed

Where'er I turn mine eye!

If I survey the ground I tread,

Or gaze upon the sky,

Or gaze upon the sky!

There's not a plant or flow'r below

But makes Thy glories known;

And clouds arise, and tempests blow,

By orders from Thy throne,

By orders from Thy throne.

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,

But God is present there.
