Author: Joachim Neander Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #290 (1917) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church Lyrics: 1 Heaven and earth, and sea and air,
All their Maker's praise declare;
Wake, my soul, awake and sing:
Now thy grateful praises bring.
2 See the glorious orb of day
Breaking through the clouds his way;
Moon and stars with silvery light
Praise Him through the silent night.
3 See how He hath everywhere
Made this earth so rich and fair;
Hill and vale and fruitful land,
All things living, show His hand.
4 See how through the boundless sky
Fresh and free the birds do fly;
Fire and wind and storm are still
Servants of His royal will.
5 See the water's ceaseless flow,
Ever circling to and fro,
From the sources to the sea,
Still it rolls in praise to Thee.
6 Lord, great wonders workest Thou!
To Thy sway all creatures bow.
Write Thou deeply in my heart
What I am, and what Thou art!
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Languages: English Tune Title: GOTT SEI DANK DURCH ALLE WELT
