SDA Hymnal 320
Lord of Creation
Words: Jack Copley WinslowMusic: Cyril Vincent TaylorTune: SLANE10.9.10.9
1Lord of creation, to You be all praise!
Most mighty Your working, most wondrous Your ways!
Your glory and might are beyond us to tell,
And yet in the heart of the humble You dwell.
2Lord of all power, I give You my will,
In joyful obedience Your tasks to fulfill.
Your bondage is freedom; Your service is song;
And, held in Your keeping, my weakness is strong.
3Lord of all wisdom, I give You my mind,
Rich truth that surpasses man's knowledge to find;
What eye has not seen and what ear has not heard
Is taught by Your Spirit and shines from Your Word.
4Lord of all being, I give You my all;
If ever I disown You, I stumble and fall;
But led in Your service Your word to obey,
I'll walk in Your freedom to the end of the way.
