I sing th’ almighty power of God,

That made the mountains rise,

That spread the flowing seas abroad,

And built the lofty skies.

2 I sing the wisdom that ordained

The sun to rule the day;

The moon shines full at his command,

And all the stars obey.

3 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.

4 Lord! how thy wonders are displayed,

Where’er I turn my eye!

If I survey the ground I tread,

Or gaze upon the sky!

5 There’s not a plant or flower below

But makes thy glories known;

And clouds arise, and tempests blow,

By order from thy throne.

6 Creatures that borrow life from thee

Are subject to thy care;

There’s not a place where we can flee

But God is present there.
