LyicsFOUNTAIN of mercy, God of love,
How rich thy bounties are!
The rolling seasons, as they move
Proclaim thy constant care.
When in the bosom of the earth
The sower hid the grain,
Thy goodness mark'd its secret birth,
And sent the early rain.
The spring's sweet influence, Lord, was thine;
The plants in beauty grew;
Thou gav'st refulgent suns to shine,
And gav'st refreshing dew.
These various mercies from above
Matur'd the swelling grain;
A kindly harvest crowns thy love,
And plenty fills the plain.
We own and bless thy gracious sway;
Thy hand all nature hails;
Seed-time nor harvest, night or day,
Summer nor winter, fails.
