681. We Bless the Lord

1 We bless the Lord, the just and good,
Who kindly gives our daily food;
Who pours His blessings from the skies,
And loads our days with rich supplies.

2 O let us, then, with joy record
The truth and goodness of the Lord;
How great His works! How kind His ways!
Let every tongue pronounce His praise!
