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.

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 197 hymnals Scripture: Nehemiah 9:6 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise, Thee the creations sing: With thy loved name, rocks, hills, and seas, And heaven's high palace ring. 2 Thy hand, how wide it spreads the sky, How glorious to behold! Tinged with a blue of heavenly dye, And starred with sparkling gold. 3 There thou hast bid the globes of light Their endless circuits run; There the pale planet rules the night; The day obeys the sun. 4 If down I turn my wandering eyes On clouds and storms below, Those under-regions of the skies, Thy numerous glories show. 5 The noisy winds stand ready there Thy orders to obey; With sounding winds they sweep the air, To make thy chariot way. 6 But the mild glories of thy grace, Our softer passions move; Pity divine in Jesus' face We see, adore, and love.
