1 Many and great, O God, are thy works, maker of earth and sky; thy hands have set the heavens with stars; thy fingers spread the mountains and plains. Lo, at thy word the waters were formed; deep seas obey thy voice.
2 Grant unto us communion with thee, thou star-abiding one; come unto us and dwell with us; with thee are found the gifts of life. Bless us with life that has no end, eternal life with thee.
