Author: Mrs. Sigourney Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #398 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: God of the year! with songs of praise Lyrics:
God of the year! with songs of praise,
And hearts of love, we come to bless
Thy bounteous hand, for Thou hast shed
Thy manna o’er our wilderness.
In early spring-time Thou didst fling
O’er earth its robe of blossoming;
And its sweet treasures, day by day,
Rose quickening in Thy blessed ray.
God of the seasons! Thou hast blest
The land with sunlight and with showers;
And plenty o’er its bosom smiles,
To crown the sweet autumnal hours.
Praise, praise to Thee! Our hearts expand,
To view these blessings of Thy hand,
And on the incense-breath of love
Ascend to their bright home above.
