words by Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
music by Gesangbuch der Herzogl (a chapel hymnal), 1784

I sing the mighty power of God
That made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day;
The sun shines full at His command,
And all the stars obey.

I sing the goodness of the Lord
That filled the earth with food;
He formed the creatures with His word,
And then pronounced them good.
Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed
Wherever I turn my eye:
If I survey the ground I tread
Or gaze upon the sky!

There’s not a plant or flower below
But makes Thy glories known;
And clouds arise and tempests blow
By order from Thy throne;
While all that borrows life from Thee
Is ever in Thy care,
And everywhere that man can be,
Thou, God, art present there.

颂赞父神伟大权能，
兴起群山高峰；
更使海洋辽阔无边，
布置万里晴空。
唱述父神智慧安排，
太阳管理白天；
明月清辉听他命令，
群星顺服不变。

颂赞上主无限美善，
使地出产食粮；
神用言语造出万物，
并宣称为美好。
你手所造一切奇妙，
到处可以寻见；
花草树木，蔚蓝天空，
证主大能无边。

一朵小花一棵小树，
都被装饰鲜明；
微风吹拂，祥云飘扬，
都听宝座命令。
万物既从主得命令，
父神必永眷顾；
天父子民无论何去，
父神都必保护。
