God of Almighty power,
How glorious are thy ways!
Angels thy majesty adore,
All creatures speak thy praise.
Wherever earth is fair,
Or brighter worlds extend,
Almighty Sovereign, thou art there,
Creation’s Lord and Friend.
And where the stars are not,
Nor sun hath ever shone,
Beyond the flight of human thought,
There thou art all alone.
Each gem and dewy flower,
Each sportive insect’s wing,
The ocean’s wrath, the whirlwind’s power,
To thee their tribute bring.
Heaven is thy glorious throne,
Earth does thy footstool seem;
By thy redeemed thou dost own
Thy richer diadem.
And while they bless thy name,
Hell trembles at thy rod,
Earth, heaven, and hell thy power proclaim,
All things proclaim thee God.
---Alternative verses---
Heaven is thy glorious throne,
Earth does thy footstool seem;
But souls redeemed thou lov'st to own
Thy richer diadem.
