Praise, O praise our God and King;
hymns of adoration sing:
for his mercies still endure
ever faithful, ever sure.
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:
Praise him that he gave the rain
to mature the swelling grain:
And hath bid the fruitful field
crops of precious increase yield:
Praise him for our harvest-store;
he hath filled the garner-floor:
And for richer food than this,
pledge of everlasting bliss:
Glory to our bounteous King;
glory let creation sing:
glory to the Father, Son,
and blest Spirit, Three in One.
Henry Williams Baker (1821-77)
