C. M.
God seen in all his works.
I sing th’ almighty power of God,
That made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.
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 my eye!
If I survey the ground I tread,
Or gaze upon the sky!
5 There’s not a plant or flower below
But makes thy glories known;
And clouds arise, and tempests blow,
By order from thy throne.
6 Creatures that borrow life from thee
Are subject to thy care;
There’s not a place where we can flee
But God is present there.
Watts.
