O
O’s for God’s vast Omnipotence.
His power stretches far—
Encompassing the infinite,
Outreaching every star.
Above, broad skies and planets all
Below, sea depths’ compass
Speak of His strength eternally—
Its reach is unsurpassed.
All sustenance He giveth man;
His origin imprints
The whole creation, though it groans,
His praises do evince.
Foaming and furi’ous floods forthtell,
Vast wonders of the deep—
These all extol our Mighty Lord;
But so doth silence speak.
The wonder of a tiny bud
Upon the tree in spring;
And nanoscopic snowflakes each
Do adoration bring.
Numberless insects, multi-hued
Diverse, in one accord,
In harmonies the earth around--
God’s power all record.
Curs’d souls made new by Christ’s shed blood;
Who love their enemies—
These manifest this potent force,
Show Him abundantly.
Entire homes made pure by love,
And unity, and peace
Speak volumes to the God so great
Whose power does not cease.
Lift up your voice then to this God
His mighty power to praise;
His Spirit can conduct your heart
In never-ceasing lays.
And as you gaze upon this One
With infinite delight,
His glory from you, too, will shine
To brighten this world’s night.
Our God, omnipotent, doth reign
Oe’r all this vast world broad.
Join now in songs of praise to Him:
Omnipotence all laud!
Job 26:12, “He divideth the sea with his power,
and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.”
