Omnipresent Power

Oh God thine omnipresent power ’Tis beautiful to trace, As manifested in each flower, Or through the realms of space.

All nature’s scenes, though in themselves Most lovely, bright, and fair, Are redolent with glorious life When we behold Thee there!

The gentle breeze, or verdant mead; The sunset clouds above; The sparkling stream, the waving tree, Then witness to thy love.

And e’en the grandeur of the storm, Or dashing of the tide, Their terrors lose when thou art known Their fearful might to guide.

The starry worlds so clear and bright, And numberless foretel, There must be worlds of heavenly light Where minds angelic dwell.

The pure in heart behold their God, Oh make our spirits pure, That both in earth and heaven we may Behold Thee evermore.
