Church Hymn Book ‎#P.LXV.II

P.LXV.II. 'Tis by thy strength the mountains stand

7 'Tis by thy strength the mountains stand,
God of eternal pow'r;
The sea grows calm at thy command,
And tempests cease to roar.

8 Thy morning light and ev'ning shade
Successive comforts bring;
Thy plenteous fruits make harvest glad,
Thy flow'rs adorn the spring.

9 Seasons and times, and moons and hours,
Heav'n, earth, and air are thine;
When clouds distil in fruitful show'rs,
The author is divine.

10 Those wand'ring cisterns in the sky
Borne by the winds around,
With wat'ry treasures well supply
The furrows of the ground.

11 The thirsty ridges drink their fill,
And ranks of corn appear;
Thy ways abound with blessings still,
Thy goodness crowns the year.
