9532. My God, Thy Boundless Love I Praise

1 My God, Thy boundless love I praise;
How bright on high its glories blaze;
How sweetly bloom below!
It streams from Thine eternal throne;
Thro’ Heav’n its joys forever run,
And all the earth o’erflow.

2 ’Tis love that paints the purple morn,
And bids the clouds in air upborne,
Their genial drops distill;
In every vernal beam it glows,
And breathes in every gale that blows,
And glides in every rill.

3 It robes in cheerful green the ground,
And pours its flowery beauties round,
Whose sweets perfume the gale;
Its bounties richly spread the plain,
The blushing fruit, the golden grain,
And smile on every vale.

4 Thus in Thy word I see it shine
With grace and glories all divine,
To earthly mortals giv’n;
While faith, bright cherub, points the way,
To realms of everlasting day,
And opens all her Heav’n.

5 Then let the love, that makes me blest,
With cheerful praise inspire my breast,
And ardent gratitude;
And all my thoughts and passions tend
To Thee, my Father and my friend,
My soul’s eternal good.
