O Lord, How Manifold the Works

O Lord

how ma­ni­fold the works

In wis­dom wrought by Thee;

The wealth of Thy cre­ation fills

The earth and migh­ty sea.

Let God re­joice in all His works

And let His works pro­claim

Forevermore their mak­er’s praise

And glo­ri­fy His name.

While life shall last my thank­ful lips

A song to God will raise

And while my be­ing I pos­sess

My mak­er I will praise.

My heart shall think up­on His grace

In me­di­ta­tion sweet;

My soul

re­joic­ing in the Lord

His prais­es shall re­peat.
