O Lord my God! how great art Thou!
With honor and with glory crowned;
Light’s dazzling splendors
veil Thy brow,
And gird the universe around.
Spirits and angels Thou hast made;
Thy ministers a flaming fire;
By Thee were earth’s
foundations laid;
At Thy rebuke the floods retire.
Thine are the fountains of the deep;
By Thee their waters swell or fail;
Up to the mountain’s summit creep,
Or shrink beneath the lowly vale.
Thy fingers mark
their utmost found;
That bound the waters may not pass;
Their moisture swells
the teeming ground,
And paints the valleys
o’er with grass.
The waving harvest, Lord, is Thine;
The vineyard, and the olive’s juice;
Corn, wine, and oil,
by Thee combine,
Life, gladness, beauty, produce.
The moon for seasons
Thou hast made,
The sun for change of day and night;
Of darkness Thine the deepest shade,
And Thine the day’s meridian light.
O Lord, Thy works are all divine;
In wisdom hast Thou made them all;
Earth’s teeming
multitudes are Thine;
Thine—peopled ocean’s
great and small.
All these on Thee for life depend;
Thy Spirit speaks, and they are born;
They gather what Thy bounties send;
Thy hand of plenty fills the horn.
Thy face is hidden—they turn pale,
With terror quake,
with anguish burn;
Their breath Thou givest to the gale;
They die, and to their dust return.
And Thou, my soul,
with pure delight,
Thy voice to bless thy Maker raise;
His praise let morning sing to night,
And night to morn repeat His praise.
