I Sing th' Almighty Pow'r of God (Original)

Lyrics

1

I sing th' almighty pow’r of God,
That made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.

Jump to Verse 8

2

I sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at His command,
And all the stars obey.

3

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.

4

Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed,
Where'er I turn mine eye,
If I survey the ground I tread,
Or gaze upon the sky!

5

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.

6

Creatures as numerous as they be,
Are subject to Thy care;
There’s not a place where we can flee,
But God is present there.

7

In heaven He shines with beams of love,
With wrath in hell beneath;
’Tis on His earth I stand or move,
And ’tis His air I breathe.

8

His hand is my perpetual guard,
He keeps me with His eye;
Why should I then forget the Lord,
Who is forever nigh?
