11 When I with pleasing wonder stand,
And all my frame survey,
Lord 'tis thy work I own thy hand
Thus built my humble clay.
12 Thy hand my heart and reins possest,
Where unborn nature grew
Thy wisdom all my features trac'd,
And all my members drew.
13 Thine eye with nicest care survey'd
The growth of ev'ry part;
Till the whole scheme thy thoughts had laid
Was copy'd by thy art.
14 Heav'n, earth & sea, and fire and wind,
Show me thy wond'rous skill;
But I review myself, and find
Diviner wonders still.
15 Thy awful glories round me shine,
My flesh proclaims thy praise;
Lord, to thy works of nature join
Thy miracles of grace.
