My Father formed it all,
From the meadows,
Where the deer, restful graze,
To the highest mountain
Lit by morning’s first blaze.
He formed the rivers that wander
From the peaks to the sea,
And praise God, Oh thank God, He formed me.
Chorus:
My Father formed it all, Oh, yes, and
He formed you and me. He formed us for time and
For eternity. He gave His Son that sinless we might be.
And praise God, Oh thank God, He formed me.
v2:
My Father formed it all,
From the first crystal
Snowflake that fell.
To the last, dewy drop
That descended in the dell.
He formed the fog and the clouds
In their fleecy finery,
And praise God, Oh thank God, He formed me.
v3:
My Father formed it all,
From the eagle that
Cavorts in the sky.
To the tiniest insect
That’s seen to fly by.
He formed the whole creation
From the whale to the flea
And praise God, Oh thank God, He formed me.
