Earth’s Mighty Maker, Whose Command

 

VERSE 1

Earth’s mighty Maker, whose command

Raised from the sea the solid land,

And drove each billowy heap away,

And bade the earth stand firm for aye:

 

VERSE 2

That so, with flowers of golden hue,

The seeds of each it might renew;

And fruit trees bearing fruit might yield—

And pleasant pasture of the field;

 

VERSE 3

Our spirit’s rankling wounds efface

With dewy freshness of Thy grace:

That grief may cleanse each deed of ill,

And o’er each lust may triumph still.

 

VERSE 4

Let every soul Thy law obey,

And keep from every evil way;

Rejoice each promised good to win

And flee from every mortal sin.

 

VERSE 5

O Father, that we ask be done,

Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son;

Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,

Doth live and reign eternally.
