I Sing the Mighty Power of God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 471 hymnals First Line: I sing the mighty pow'r of God Lyrics: 1 I sing the mighty pow'r 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 rule 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 survey the ground I tread Or gaze upon the sky! 3 There's not a plant or flow'r below, But makes Thy glories known; And clouds arise, and tempests blow, By order from Thy throne; While all that borrows life from Thee Is ever in Thy care, And ev'rywhere that we can be, Thou, God, art present there. Amen. Topics: God Majesty and Power; God Creation Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Swift are winging angels singing, noels ringing, tidings bringing: Christ the Babe is Lord of all, Christ the Babe is Lord of all. 2 Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping vigil till the morning new Saw the glory, heard the story, tidings of a gospel true. Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow, praises voicing, greet the morrow: Christ the Babe was born for you. Christ the Babe was born for you.
