29I Sing the Mighty Power

Joy and Peace

Isaac Watts (1674-1748)G. F. Root (1820-1895)

1

I sing the mighty power 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 flower below But makes Thy glories known;And clouds arise, and tempests blow, By order from Thy throne.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.
