1 I sing the almighty 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.
2 I sing the goodness of the Lord,
who filled the earth with food,
who formed the creatures with his Word,
and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how your wonders are displayed,
where'er I turn my eye,
if I survey the ground I tread,
or gaze upon the sky.
3 There's not a plant or flower below,
but makes your glories known,
and clouds arise, and tempests blow,
by order from your throne;
while all that borrows life from you
is ever in your care;
and everywhere that man can be,
you, God, are present there.
