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