A Book of Song and Service #154
1 God of the earth, the sky, the sea,
maker of all above, below,
creation lives and moves in you;
your present life through all does flow.
2 Your love is in the sunshine’s glow,
your life is in the quick’ning air;
when lightnings flash and storm-winds blow,
there is your power, your law is there.
3 We feel your calm at evening’s hour,
your grandeur in the march of night;
and when the morning breaks in power,
we hear your word, “Let there be light.”
4 But higher far, and far more clear,
you in our spirit we behold;
your image and yourself are there —
indwelling God, proclaimed of old.
