Lord when I view thy mighty pow'r

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCLXIII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord when I view thy mighty pow'r, Thy wisdom and thy wond'rous ways, I stand amaz'd, yet evermore, I fain would shew thy love and praise. 2 Mine eyes behold where e'er I look, More wonders than I can relate; To read the whole of nature's book, It shews that thou art wond'rous great. 3 Who sets the sun to run his rout! Who fix'd and caus'd the change of moon? Who brings both day and night about? By the Almighty hand 'tis done. 4 Who send the late and early rain? Who brings the winds from South & North? Who warms the frozen earth again? That all her seeds and plants come forth. 5 It is thy great Almighty word, Which caused all these things to be: They shew thou art the sov'reign Lord, And all the praise is due to thee. 6 Lord, I am thy creation too, Created for the noblest end, And with astonishment I view, That thou to man shouldst condescend. 7 To grant thy blessings from above, And make us heirs of endless grace: Astonishing what wond'rous love, That God to man would show such grace. 8 All glory, honour, praise and pow'r, Be to our great Almighty King, Who lives and reigns for evermore, To him eternal praises sing.
