Care of the Creator

Tune: St Magnus [Series: Hymns with Saints Tunes 18]

('The head that once was crowned with thorns')

Psalm 32 v.6-9

***********

By word of the Lord heavens were

Made, we agree, 'tis sure

And all the host of them by His

Breath created all this

He gathers waters of the sea

Into a heap, so be

Lays up deep sea in storehouses

Creates as He pleases

Let all the earth the Lord now fear

And unto Him draw near

Let all who the world inhabit

Stand in awe of Him fit* (*aptly, suitably)

For He spake, and then it was done

His wonders, works, each one

He commanded, and each stood fast

He makes them strong to last
