Lord of creation, to You be all praise!

.i Jack Winslow (1882-1974)



.1

Lord 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.



.2

Lord of all power,

I give You my will,

in joyful obedience

Your tasks to fulfil;

Your bondage is freedom,

Your service is song,

and, held in Your keeping,

my weakness is strong.



.3

Lord 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.



.4

Lord off all bounty,

I give You my heart;

I praise and adore You

for all You impart,

Your love to inspire me,

Your counsel to guide,

Your presence to cheer me,

whatever betide.



.5

Lord of all being,

I give you my all;

for if I disown You

I stumble and fall;

but, sworn in glad service

Your word to obey,

I walk in Your freedom

to the end of the way.
