36. Many and Great

1 Many and great, O God, are your works,
Maker of earth and sky;
Your hands have set the heavens with stars;
Your fingers spread the mountains and plains.
You merely spoke and waters were formed;
Deep seas obey your voice.

2 Grant unto us communion with you, our God,
Though you transcend the stars.
Come close to us an stay by our side:
With you are found the true gifts that last.
Bless us with life which never shall end,
Eternal life with you.
