Lyrics

God of the earth, the sky, the sea,

maker of all above, below,

creation lives and moves in you;

your present life through all does flow.

Your love is in the sunshine’s glow,

your life is in the quick’ning air;

when lightnings flash and storm-winds blow,

there is your power, your law is there.

We feel your calm at evening’s hour,

your grandeur in the march of night;

and when the morning breaks in power,

we hear your word, “Let there be light.”

But higher far, and far more clear,

you in our spirit we behold;

your image and yourself are there -

indwelling God, proclaimed of old.
