| 1. God of the earth, the sky, the sea!
Maker of all above, below!
Creation lives and moves in Thee,
Thy present life in all doth flow.
Refrain.
We give Thee thanks,
Thy Name we sing,
Almighty Father, heavenly King.
2. Thy love is in the sunshine’s glow,
Thy life is in the quickening air;
When lightning flashes
and storm winds blow,
There is Thy power;
Thy law is there.
Refrain.
We give Thee thanks,
Thy Name we sing,
Almighty Father, heavenly King.
3. We feel Thy calm
at evening’s hour,
Thy grandeur in the march of night;
And when Thy morning
breaks in power,
We hear Thy Word,
“Let there be light.”
Refrain.
We give Thee thanks,
Thy Name we sing,
Almighty Father, heavenly King.
4. But higher far, and far more clear,
Thee in man’s spirit we behold;
Thine image and Thyself are there—
Th’indwelling God,
proclaimed of old.
Refrain.
We give Thee thanks,
Thy Name we sing,
Almighty Father, heavenly King.
