He filleth with his fullness all things with large increase; he crowns the year with goodness, with plenty, and with peace. 3 Heap on his sacred altar the gifts his goodness gave, the golden sheaves of harvest, the souls Christ died to save. Your hearts lay down before him when at his feet you fall, and with your lives adore him who gave his life for all. 4 To God the gracious Father, who made us "very good," to Christ, who, when we wandered, restored us with his blood, and to the Holy Spirit, who doth upon us pour his blessed dews and sunshine, be praise forevermore.
