Sunday's Hymn: God's Power

Isaac Watts wrote many of his hymns about God and who he is. Today’s hymn is one that features the power of God.

I Sing the Mighty Power of God

I sing the mighty power of God,
That made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at God’s command,
And all the stars obey.

I sing the goodness of the Lord,
Who filled the earth with food,
Who formed the creatures through the Word,
And then pronounced them good.
Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed,
Where’er I turn my eye,
If I survey the ground I tread,
Or gaze upon the sky.

There’s not a plant or flower below,
But makes Thy glories known,
And clouds arise, and tempests blow,
By order from Thy throne;
While all that borrows life from Thee
Is ever in Thy care;
And everywhere that we can be,
Thou, God art present there.

You’ve two choices for listening: Pipe organ or Ball Brothers.

Weather Reporting: January 25

85px-Temperature_down.pngJanuary continues to be cold or stormy everywhere but here.

  • In Ontario, Kim’s forecast for this morning was -26C windchill and very cold feet
  • Darlene reports from southern California, where they had, believe it or not, a tornado warning!
    Our weather is really wacky .. last night we had a tornado warning! First one  we know of in 25 years in southern California! Plus the last 3 days of rain and snow - just terrible! The 5 Freeway north of us has been closed since Wednesday - many trucks, cars and people stranded - staying in local schools and the Red  Cross helping out. Really amazing! Fox news website has good pictures!
  • From the Chicago area, Kim tell us that it’s still cold, cold, cold, but sunny. In other words, it’s a good day for dusting.
  • Doug says it’s cold in Iowa, too, so he’s linked to a post about the coldest temp on record in North America to make himself feel better. It makes me feel happy that I wasn’t here in 1947.
  • Me? I posted a Robert Burns poem for Rabbie Burns Day: O Wert Thou in the Cauld Blast
  • Update: Carla thinks winter has already outstayed it’s welcome in Ontario.
  • Update: And down under, Missm has perfect weather for sailing, with a photo to cheer the winter weary soul.

What’s the weather like where you are? If you send me a link to your weather related post before tomorrow (Saturday) evening, I’ll add your link to this post. If you send it after that, expect to see your post linked in this coming Tuesday’s weather report, which, by the way, will be your last chance to be included in one of these weather reports.
