Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 471 hymnals Topics: Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 We sing the mighty power of God that made the mountains rise, that spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies. We sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; the moon shines full at his command, and all the stars obey. 2 We 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 your wonders are displayed, where'er we turn our eyes, if we survey the ground we tread or gaze upon the skies. 3 There's not a plant or flower below but makes your glories known, and clouds arise and tempests blow by order from your throne; while all that borrows life from you is ever in your care, and everywhere that we can be, you, God, are present there.

God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,129 hymnals Topics: Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform. He plants his footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines of never-failing skill, he treasures up his bright designs and works his sovereign will. 3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take; the clouds you so much dread are big with mercy and shall break in blessings on your head. 4 His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour. The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower. 5 Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan his work in vain. God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Appears in 785 hymnals Topics: The Godhead Creation and Providence Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's power display; And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth: Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though, in solemn silence, all Move round this dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice or sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found; In reasons' ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing, as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine."

This is my Father's world! He shines in all that's fair; In the rustling grass I hear Him pass- He speaks to me ev'rywhere. 3 This is my Father's world- O let me ne'er forget That tho' the wrong seems oft so strong God is the Ruler yet.
