Author: Arvid A. Afzelius Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Unto the Lord of all creation Thy voice, my soul, in anthems raise. Let every heart a fit oblation Bring unto Him with songs of praise. O contemplate in humbleness The power and riches of his grace. 2 In Him we live and have our being; And all the hosts of Heav’n and earth The living God, all wise, all seeing, Thro’ His own Spirit brought to birth. His holy name, writ in His Word, Thro’ all the universe is heard. 3 The Lord who laid the earth’s foundation, And for the stars their course decreed, Whose hand hath ordered all creation, Provideth for our every need; For God is love: the Father’s care His smallest child shall duly share. 4 From out the gloom mine eye descrieth The Maker’s footprints in the sky; The starry chorus testifieth To His eternal majesty; While on my path each tiny flower Proclaims His glory and His power. 5 Into Thy hand, O God Almighty, My weal and woe I will entrust; My need Thou seest who takest pity On every worm that crawls the dust. In pleasure’s path or sorrow’s way Be Thou my guide, O Lord, I pray. 6 And when the morning star appeareth, Thy grace, Thy glory we proclaim; When falls the dew, and evening neareth, O Lord, we call upon Thy name. Upon Thy mercy we rely, Father, Creator, God on high. Used With Tune: WER WEISS, WIE NAHE
