Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A creation hymn by Isaac Watts (1709) celebrating God's power, wisdom, and goodness as displayed throughout the natural world. One of Watts's most beloved hymns for children and congregational worship.
Verse 1
I sing the mighty pow'r of God,
That made the mountains rise;
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained The sun to rule the day:
The moon shines full at His command,
And all the stars obey.
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
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.
Creatures that borrow life from Thee Are subject to Thy care:
There's not a place where we can flee,
But God is present there.
