William Cowper preaches about the Almighty King whose wondrous hand
upholds the weight of the sea and land, emphasizing His boundless grace
that sustains and provides for His people. He acknowledges God's
providence in supplying food, nourishment through His word, and the

Almighty King! whose wond'rous hand

Supports the weight of sea and land;

Whose grace is such a boundless store,

No heart shall break that sighs for more;

Thy Providence supplies my food,

And 'tis thy blessing makes it good;

My soul is nourish'd by thy word,

Let soul and body praise the LORD.

My streams of outward comfort came

From him, who built this earthly frame;

Whate'er I want his bounty gives,

By whom my soul for ever lives.

Either his hand preserves from pain,

Or, if I feel it, heals again;

From Satan's malice shields my breast,

Or overrules it for the best.

Forgive the song that falls so low

Beneath the gratitude I owe!

It means thy praise, however poor,

An angel's song can do no more.
