A Selection of Psalms with occasional hymns (Charleston hymnal) ‎#H.XIV

H.XIV. To God, the universal King

1 To God, the universal King,
Be sacred ev'ry grateful choir:
In endless hymns his praises sing,
Which endless bounty can inspire.

2 Hail! hail! reviv'd, reviving spring,
Fair type of heav'n's eternal year,
While nature's works thy praises sing,
Lo! gratitude salutes thee here.

3 Swell, gently swell, the solemn song!
Now pour the bounding notes along,
Teach choirs below, to choirs above
To echo back the solemn lay;
And as they praise unbounded love,
To join in bounty's holy-day.
