64. We sing th' almighty power of God

1 We sing th' almighty pow'r of God,
Who bade the mountains rise,
Who spread the flowing seas abroad
And built the lofty skies.

2 We sing the wisdom that ordain'd
The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at his command,
And all the stars obey.

3 We sing the goodness of the Lord,
Who fills the earth with food;
Who form'd the creatures by a word
And then pronounc'd them good.

4 Lord, how your wonders are display'd,
Where'er we turn our eyes;
Whether we view the ground we tread
Or gaze upon the skies!

5 There's not a plant nor flow'r below,
But makes your glories known;
And clouds arise and tempests blow,
By order from thy throne.

6 Creation, vast as it may be,
Is subject to thy will.
There's not a place, where we can flee,
But God is with us still.

7 On him each moment we depend;
If he withdraw, we die.
Oh may we ne'er that God offend,
Who is forever nigh!
