Praise to God, Immortal Praise
Author: Anna Laetitia Barbauld (1743-1825) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 605 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65 Lyrics: 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 blessings of the fields,
for the stores the garden yields,
flocks that whiten all the plain;
yellow sheaves of ripened grain,
3 all that spring with bounteous hand
scatters o'er the smiling land,
all that liberal autumn pours
from its rich o'erflowing stores.
4 These, to thee, O God, we owe,
Source whence all our blessings flow;
and for these our souls shall raise
grateful vows and solemn praise. Topics: Rogation Days; Harvest Thanksgiving Used With Tune: ORIENTIS PARTIBUS

In the harvests we are sharing,
God's will be done.

Thanks be to God;

For the truths that will confound us,
Most of all, that love has found us,
Thanks be to God. Topics: Creation; Creation; Creation; Harvest; Justice; Labor; Love of God for Us; Stewardship; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: AR HYD Y NOS

Once more, my soul, the rising day
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 459 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65:8 Lyrics: 1 Once more, my soul, the rising day
Salutes thy waking eyes;
Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay
To him who rules the skies.
2 Night unto night his name repeats,
The day renews the sound,
Wide as the heaven on which he sits
To turn the seasons round.
3 'Tis he supports my mortal frame;
My tongue shall speak his praise:
My sins would rouse his wrath to flame,
And yet his wrath delays.
4 Great God, let all my hours be thine,
While I enjoy the light;
Then shall my sun in smiles decline
And bring a peaceful night. Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar; A Morning Song

How are thy servants blest, O Lord!
Author: Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 321 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65:5 Lyrics: 1 How are thy servants blest, O Lord!
How sure is their defense!
Eternal wisdom is their guide,
Their help omnipotence.
2 In foreign realms, and lands remote,
Supported by thy care,
Through burning climes they pass unhurt,
And breathe in tainted air.
3 When by the dreadful tempest borne
High on the broken wave,
They know thou art not slow to hear,
Nor impotent to save.
4 The storm is laid, the winds retire,
Obedient to thy will;
The sea that roars at thy command,
At thy command is still.
5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths,
Thy goodness we'll adore;
We'll praise thee for thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more.
6 Our life, while thou preservest that life,
Thy sacrifice shall be;
And death, when death shall be out lot,
Shall join our souls to thee. Topics: Attributes of God Preserver; Watchful Care
How are thy servants blest, O Lord!

The hills leap up in gladness,
The valleys laugh and sing.

All things with large increase;

With plenty and with peace.
