Hymns for Youth ‎#44

44. I Sing the Mighty Power of God

1. 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 rules the day;
The moon shines full at His command,
And all the stars obey.

2. 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.
Lord, how thy wonders are displayed
Where'er I turn my eye:
If I survery the ground I tread,
Or gaze upon the sky!

3. There's not a plant of flower below
But makes thy glories known;
And clouds arise and tempests blow
By order from thy throne,
While all that borrow life from thee
Is ever in thy care,
And everywhere that man can be,
Thou, God, art present there.
