12857. Thy Wisdom And Thy Might Appear

1 Thy wisdom and Thy might appear,
Eternal God, through every year;
From day to day, from hour to hour,
Thy works reveal self-ordered power.

2 We worship Thee whose will hath laid
Thy sovereign rule on all things made;
The faithful stars, the fruitful earth,
Obey Thy laws that gave them birth.

3 Yet Thou canst make a marvel shine
Amid these mighty laws of Thine;
As when Thy servant Moses came
And saw the bush with Thee aflame.

4 We turn aside and tread the ways
That lead through wonder up to praise;
Wherever Thou by man art found
The homely earth is holy ground.

5 If Thou hast formed us out of dust
Through ages long, in Thee we trust;
O grant us in our souls to see
The living flame that comes from Thee.
