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