Almighty Maker, God, How wondrous is thy name!

Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 185 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 84:3 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Maker, God, How wondrous is thy name! Thy glories how diffused abroad, Through the creation's frame. 2 Nature in every dress Her humble homage pays, And finds a thousand ways t' express Thine undissembled praise. 3 My soul would rise and sing To her Creator too; Fain would my tongue adore my King, And pay the worship due. 4 Create my soul anew, Else all my worship's vain; This wretched heart will ne'er be true, Until 't is formed again. 5 Descend, celestial fire, And seize me from above; Melt me in flames of pure desire, A sacrifice to love. 6 Let joy and worship spend The remnant of my days, And to my God, my soul, ascend In sweet perfumes of praise.
