LyicsPRAISE to God, immortal praise,
For the love that crowns our days!
Bounteous source of ev'ry joy,
Let Thy praise our tongues employ.
For the blessings of the field,
For the stores the gardens yield,
For the fruits in full supply,
Ripen'd 'neath the Summer sky;
Flocks that whiten all the plain;
Yellow sheaves of ripen'd grain;
Clouds that drop their fatt'ning dews;
Suns that temp'rate warmth diffuse:
All that Spring with bounteous hand
Scatters o'er the smiling land;
All that liberal Autumn pours
From her rich, o'er flowing 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.
