FATHER of all! whose powerful voice
By A Collection of Hymns

      L.M. The Lord's Prayer.
      1 FATHER of all! whose powerful voice
      Called forth this universal frame;
      Whose mercies over all rejoice,
      Through endless ages still the same;
      Thou by thy word upholdest all;
      Thy bounteous love to all is showed,
      Thou hear'st thy every creature's call,
      And fillest every mouth with good.

      2 In heaven thou reign'st enthroned in light
      Nature's expanse beneath thee spread,
      Earth, air, and sea, before thy sight,
      And hell's deep gloom, are open laid;
      Wisdom, and might, and love are thine;
      Prostrate before thy face we fall,
      Confess thine attributes divine,
      And hail the sovereign Lord of all.

      3 Thee, sovereign Lord, let all confess
      That moves in earth, or air, or sky,
      Revere thy power, thy goodness bless,
      Tremble before thy piercing eye;
      All ye who owe to him your birth,
      In praise your every hour employ:
      Jehovah reigns! be glad, O earth!
      And shout, ye morning stars, for joy!
