Tune: Sandys
(\'Teach me, my God and King\')
Based on a prayer, source unknown, early Scottish
*************
I rise today, it through
Strength of heaven\'s renew
Your creation, Lord, me to aid
Your wondrous works displayed
Light of the sun\'s bright beam
Radiance of moon\'s gleam
Splendour of fire, speed of lightning
Of these we speak and sing
And too the wind\'s swiftness
Grains of sand numberless
Depth of sea, earth\'s stability
Firmness of rock and tree
Of each thing may we learn
And more of God discern
His life, power in creation
Shown to every nation
