|  | | 1. Many and great, O God,
are thy works,
maker of earth and sky;
thy hands have set
the heavens with stars;
thy fingers spread
the mountains and plains.
Lo, at thy word
the waters were formed;
deep seas obey thy voice.
2. Grant unto us
communion with thee,
thou star abiding one;
come unto us and dwell with us;
with thee are found the gifts of life.
Bless us with life that has no end,
eternal life with thee.
