And built the lof ? ty skies.

And all the stars o - bey.

Lord, how Thy won - ders are dis - played,

There?s not a plant or flow?r be - low,
D Esus E A
But makes Thy glor - ies known,

And clouds arise, and tempests blow,
D Esus E A
By or ? der from Thy throne;
A7 D Esus E
While all that bor - rows life from Thee
A A7 D E
Is ev - er in Thy care;
A F#7 E
And every - where that man can be,
D Esus E A
Thou, God, art pres - ent there.
