Eternal source of every joy,
Well may thy praise our lips employ;
While in thy temple we appear,
Whose goodness crowns the circling year.

The flow'ry spring at thy command
Embalms the air, and paints the land:
The summer rays with vigour shine
To raise the corn and cheer the vine.

Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours
Through all our coasts redundant stores;
And winters, soften'd by thy care
No more a face of horror wear.

Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days
Demand successive songs of praise:
Still be the cheerful homage paid
With opening light, and evening shade.
