God.

It was my heavenly Father's love Brought every being forth: He made the shining worlds above, And every thing on earth.

Each lovely flower, the smallest fly, The sea, the waterfall, The bright green fields, the clear blue sky— Tis God that made them all.

God hears what I am saying now, Oh! what a wondrous thought! My heavenly Father, teach me how To love thee as I ought.
