2 At his command, the mountains heaved Their rocky pinnacles on high, Island and continent displayed Their desert grandeur to the sky. 3 The voice of God was heard again, And lovely flowers and graceful trees Appeared on every vale and plain, And perfumes floated on the breeze. 4 The word went forth, and vast and high The heavenly orbs gave out their light, O'er all the earth and sea and sky; The rulers of the day and night. 116. L. M. 6l. Montgomery's Coll. Omnipresence of God. 1 Above, below, where'er I gaze, Thy guiding finger, Lord, I view, Traced in the midnight planets' blaze, Or glist'ning in the morning dew: Whate'er is beautiful or fair, Is but thine own reflection there. 2 And when the radiant orb of light Hath tipped the mountain tops with gold Smote with the blaze, my weary sight Shrinks from the wonders I behold; That ray of glory, bright and fair, Is but thy living shadow there. 3 Thine is the silent noon of night, The twilight eve, the dewy morn; Whate'er is beautiful and bright, Thy hands have fashioned to adorn. Thy glory walks in every sphere, And all things whisper, "God is here." 117. C. M. Watts. The Perfections of God. 1 How shall I praise th' eternal God, That infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode, Or venture near his throne? 2 Those watchful eyes that never sleep, Survey the world around: His wisdom is a boundless deep, Where all our thoughts are drowned. 3 Speak we of strength, his arm is strong, To save or to destroy: To him eternal years belong, And never-ending joy. 4 He knows no shadow of a change, Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains, To guard his promises. 118. C. M. Drennan. "God is a Spirit." 1 The heaven of heavens cannot contain The universal Lord; Yet he in humble hearts will deign To dwell and be adored. 2 Where'er ascends the sacrifice Of fervent praise and prayer, Or on the earth, or in the skies, The God of heaven is there. 3 His presence is diffused abroad Through realms, through worlds unknown; Who seek the mercies of our God Are ever near his throne. 119. C. M. Watts. Power, Wisdom and Goodness of God. 1 I sing the mighty power of God, That made the mountains rise, That spread the flowing seas abroad, And built the lofty skies. 2 I sing the wisdom that ordained The sun to rule the day; The moon shines full at his command, And all the stars obey. 3 I sing the goodness of the Lord, That filled the earth with food; He formed the creatures with his word, And then pronounced them good.
