We Worship You, Whose Splendor

VERSE 1:
We worship You, whose splendor dwarfs the cosmos,
whose very clothes are robes of dazzling light;
on wind and cloud You ride across the heavens;
Your word bids fiery angels soar in flight.

VERSE 2:
You made the earth, determining its orbit;
primeval chaos fled at Your command.
You send the streams from mountain peak to valley,
and yet prevent them flooding all the land.

CHORUS:
Lord God, our voices gladly we raise,
joining creation's unending hymn of praise.

VERSE 3:
The waters flow, till plain and pasture flourish;
the forest thrives—there birds may freely nest;
the thirsty creatures drink and find refreshment,
and human hearts with wine and grain are blest.

VERSE 4:
You formed the moon to mark the passing seasons;
You gave the sun, whose radiance lights the day,
as each new morning calls us to Your service,
and wildlife of the nighttime steals away.

CHORUS:
Lord God, our voices gladly we raise,
joining creation's unending hymn of praise.

VERSE 5:
Unnumbered marvels emphasize Your wisdom;
who knows what mysteries lie beneath the sea?
Yet every mouth relies on Your provision:
without Your care, how brief our lives would be.

VERSE 6:
May You rejoice in all You have created,
though just Your glance could set the earth ablaze;
may we direct our lives to bring You pleasure,
and praise You with the song of all our days.

CHORUS:
Lord God, our voices gladly we raise,
joining creation's unending hymn of praise.
