Text: | Praise to God, Immortal Praise |
Author: | Anna L. Barbauld, 1772 |
Tune: | DIX |
Composer: | Conrad Kocher, 1786-1872 |
1. Praise to God, immortal praise,
For the love that crowns our days.
Bounteous source of every joy,
Let thy praise our tongues employ:
All to thee, our God, we owe,
Source whence all our blessings flow.
2. All the gifts that summer pours:
Autumn's rich, o'erflowing stores;
Flocks that whiten all the plain;
Yellow sheaves of ripened grain:
Lord, for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.
3. Peace, prosperity, and health;
Private bliss and public wealth;
Knowledge with its gladdening streams;
Pure religion's holier beams:
Lord, for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.
4. As thy prospering hand hath blest,
May we give thee of our best;
And by deeds of kindly love
For thy mercies grateful prove,
Singing thus through all our days
Praise to God, immortal praise.
