Where sin and death abound. How beautiful, beyond compare, Will paradise be found! 9 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 moon shines full at his command, And all the stars obey. 2 I sing the goodness of the Lord, That filled the earth with food: He formed the creatures with his word, 3 There's not a plant or flower below, Are subject to thy care: |
