Gregory 86
Lyrics: Enfield / Gay
Tune: David Gay, 1990
Meter: 8.8.8.6.
O thou, through all thy works adored!
Great Pow'r Supreme! Almighty Lord!
Author of life, whose sov'reign sway
Shall ev'ry tribe obey!
Chorus:
Thy word calls forth the storm below,
The threatning cloud, the flying snow,
The changing wind, the moulded hail,
All answer to thy will.
Tempests obey thy mighty will;
Thine awful mandate to fulfill,
The forked lightnings dart around,
And blast the riven ground.
Planets, those wand'ring worlds above,
Guided by thee, incessant move;
Suns, kindled by a ray divine,
All in thine honour shine.
To thee, of life th'eternal spring,
Invisible, all pow'rful King,
One chorus let all creatures raise,
One hymn of solemn praise.
