God of the Earth

Music by Edwin Drewett, words by Samuel Longfellow


God of the earth, the sky, the sea!
Maker of all above, below!
Creation lives and moves in Thee,
Thy life in all doth flow.

Thy love is in the sunshine's glow,
Thy life is in the quickening air;
When lightnings flash and storm winds blow,
Thy power, Thy law is there.

We feel Thy calm at evening's hour,
Thy grandeur in the march of night;
And when Thy morning breaks in power,
'Tis Thy, "Let there be light."
