the mighty power of God

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 God’s command,

and all the stars obey.

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.

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.

~Isaac Watts, altered
