I Sing The Mighty Power Of God

 

"At the beginning You existed and laid the foundations
of the earth; the heavens are the work of Your hands."
Psalm 102:25

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 His 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 pronounced them good.


Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed,

Wher-e'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 everywhere that man can be,

Thou, God, art present there.

Amen



"I Sing The Mighty Power Of God"
