1 Praise, O praise our God and King!
Hymns of adoration sing;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
2 Praise Him that He made the sun
Day by day his course to ruen;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:
3 And the silver moon by night,
Shining with her gentle light;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
4 Praise Him that He gave the rain
To mature the swelling grain;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:
5 And hath bid the fruitful field
Crops of precious increase yield;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
6 Praise Him for our harvest-store,
He hath fill'd the garner floor;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:
7 And for richer food than this,
Pledge of everlasting bliss;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
8 Glory to our bounteous King!
Glory let creation sing!
Glory to the Father, Son,
And blest Spirit, Three in One.
Hymnal: according to the use of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, 1871
