I Sing the Mighty Power of God

I Sing the Mighty Power of God
Words by Isaac Watts.  Public domain.

   G        D  G        C   G
I sing the mighty pow'r of God,
      C        D         G
That made the mountains rise;
      G          D  G        C  G
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
      C        D      G
And built the lofty skies,
   G    D   G  C   D
I sing the wisdom that ordained
     G   D  G    C   D
The sun to rule the day;
     G           D   G       C  G
The moon shines full at His command,
     C        D     G
And all the stars obey.


I sing the goodness of the Lord,
That filled the earth with food;
He formed the creatures with His word,
And then pronounced them good.
Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed,
Where'er I turn my eye;
If I survey the ground I tread,
Or gaze upon the sky!

There's not a plant or flow'r below,
But makes Thy glories known;
And clouds arise, and tempests blow,
By order from Thy throne;
While all that borrows life froom Thee
Is ever in Thy care,
And ev'rywhere that man can be,
Thou, God, art present there.
