536. Almighty Sov'reign of the skies

1 Almighty Sov'reign of the skies,
To Thee let songs of gladness rise,
Each grateful heart its tribute bring,
And ev'ry voice Thy goodness sing.

2 From Thee our choicest blessings flow;
Life, health and strength Thy hands bestow,
The daily good Thy creatures share,
Springs from Thy providential care.

3 The rich profusion nature yields,
The harvest waving o'er the fields,
The cheering light, refreshing shower,
Are gifts from Thy exhaustless store.

4 At Thy command the vernal bloom
Revives the world from winter's gloom;
The summer's heat the fruit matures,
And autumn all her treasures pours.

5 Let ev'ry power of heart and tongue
Unite to swell the grateful song;
While age and youth in chorus join,
And praise the Majesty Divine.
