Text: | Praise to God, Immortal Praise |
Author: | Anna L. Barbauld |
Tune: | NUREMBERG |
Composer: | Johann R. Ahle |
1 Praise to God, immortal praise,
For the love that crowns our days;
Bounteous Source of every joy,
Let Thy praise our tongues employ.
2 For the blessing of the field,
For the stores the gardens yield;
For the fruits in full supply,
Ripened 'neath the summer sky;
3 Flocks that whiten all the plain;
Yellow sheaves of ripened grain;
Clouds that drop their fattening dews;
Suns that temperate warmth diffuse;
4 All that spring with bounteous hand
Scatters o’er the smiling land;
All that liberal autumn pours
From her overflowing stores;
5 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.
Amen.
