LyicsWhen morning reviveth her beams,
And earth is yet pearly with dew,
And mercy's delectable streams,
Their equable courses renew,
Come then to the altar of prayer,
And bow to the Ancient of days,
Your sacrifice offer, and there
Peal high the pure anthem of praise.
The God of the seasons adore
When spring breathes her earliest breeze,
When winter reluctant is o'er,
And smile all the rivers and trees;
When summer, in showers and gales,
Her merciful mission fulfils;
When plenty matures in the vales,
And joy speaks aloud from the hills.
When Autumn is sober and sere,
And pours out her plentiful store,
O then as declineth the year,
The God of abundance adore;
When winter obscureth the sky,
And vapory tubulence blows,
Forbid that devotion should die,
Or freeze with the frosts and the snows.
At home with thy kindred and friends,
Alone, or with strangers abroad,
Whatever kind providence sends,
O call on the name of thy God:
When sickness at last is thy lot,
And death hastens on in the gloom,
The monarch of terrors fear not,
For Jesus has conquered the tomb.
