Hymns for Children, 95
From Hymns for Children (1763) · Osborn ed., vol. 6 (1870)
Let all that breathe Jehovah praise.
Almighty, all-creating Lord;
Let earth and heaven His power confess,
Brought out of nothing by His word!
He spake the word, and it was done,
The universe His word obey'd:
His Word is His eternal Son,
And Christ the whole creation made.
Jesus, the Lord and God most high.
Maker of all mankind and me,
Me Thou hast form'd to glorify.
To know, and love, and live for Thee:
Wherefore to Thee my heart I give,
(But Thou must first bestow the power,)
And if on earth for Thee I live.
Thee I shall soon in heaven adore.
