LyicsPraise and thanks and cheerful love
Rise from everything below,
To the mighty One above,
Who his wondrous love doth show;
Praise him, each created thing!
God, you Maker; God of spring!
Praise him, trees so lately bare;
Praise him, fresh and new-born flowers;
All ye creatures of the air;
All ye soft-descending showers!
Praise,with each awakening thing,
God, your Maker; God of spring!
Praise him, man!-thy fitful heart
Let this balmy season move
To emply its noblest part,
Gentlest mercy, sweetest love;
Blessing, with each living thing,
God, your Father; God of spring!
