104 (2)	Psalm 104 Version 2 (from v 27)	LM
	VAST are Thy works, Almighty Lord,    All nature rests upon Thy word, And every race of creature stands Waiting their portion from Thy hands.
2	But when Thy face is turned, they mourn, And dying to the dust return; Both man and beast their souls resign; Life, breath, and spirit, all are Thine.
3	Yet Thou canst breathe on dust again, And fill the world with beasts and men, A word of Thy creating breath, Repairs the waste of time and death.
4	At Thy mere touch the mountains smoke, And earth stands trembling at Thy stroke! Yet humble hearts may seek Thy face, And trust their needs to sovereign grace.
5	In Thee our hopes and wishes meet, O make our meditations sweet, Praises shall all our hearts employ Till they translate to endless joy.
	Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
