"Creator"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

"Creator"

1. What mighty acts of God-like power
Are seen in nature's frame;
Earth's massy hills, and heav'n's high tower,
Omnipotence proclaim.

2. But nobler work demands my praise,
Where greater power's display'd;
Jehovah hath, by sov'reign grace,
A new creation made.

3. From Adam's ruin He selects
The stones which in him fell;
And temples for Himself erects,
In which He deigns to dwell.

4. The work begun He'll ne'er forsake,
Though earth and hell oppose;
His name and honor are at stake,
To save the men He chose.

5. This thought shall cheer my darkest hour,
My God will not forsake;
He new creates me by His power,
And He'll to glory take.
