Lyrics

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.
