Lyics

Praise to God, immortal praise,

For the love that crowns our days!

Bounteous source of every joy,

Let thy praise our tongues employ.



For the blessings of the field,

For the stores the gardens yield;

For the vine's exalted juice,

For the generous olive's use:



Flocks that whiten all the plain;

Yellow sheaves of ripened grain;

Clouds that drop their fattening dews;

Suns that temperate warmth diffuse:



All that Spring with bounteous hand

Scatters o'er the smiling land;

All that liberal Autumn pours

From her rich o'erflowing stores:



These to thee, my God, we owe,

Source whence all our blessings flow;

And for these my soul shall raise

Grateful vows and solemn praise.
