O thou! through all thy works adored,
Great power supreme, almighty Lord!
Author of life, whose sovereign sway
Creatures of every tribe obey:
To thee, most high, to thee belong
The suppliant prayer, the joyful song;
To thee we will attune our voice,
And in thy wondrous works rejoice.
Planets, those wandering worlds above,
Guided by thee, incessant move;
Suns, kindled by a ray divine,
In honour of their Maker shine.
From thee proceed heaven’s varied store,
The changing wind, the fruitful shower,
The flying cloud, the coloured bow,
The moulded hail, the feathered snow.
Tempests obey thy might will;
Thine awful mandate to fulfil,
The forked lightnings dart around,
And rive the oak, and blast the round.
Yet please to bless, kind to supply,
Thy hand supports thy family,
And fosters, with a parent’s care,
The tribes of earth, and sea, and air.
