Praise, O praise our God and King; hymns of adoration sing: For His mercies still endure ever faithful, ever sure.2. Praise Him that He made the sun day by day His course to run: And the silver moon by night, shining with Her gentle light:3. Praise Him that He gave the rain to mature the swelling grain: And hath bid the fruitful field crops of precious increase yield:4. Praise Him for our harvest store; He hath filled the garnerfloor: And for richer food than this, pledge of everlasting bliss:5. Glory to our bounteous King; glory let creation sing: Glory to the Father, Son, and blest Spirit, Three in One.
