Eternal Source Of Every Joy,
Well May Thy Praise Our Lips Employ,
While In Thy Temple We Appear,
Whose Goodness Crowns The Circling Year.
Wide As The Wheels Of Nature Roll,
Thy Hand Supports And Guides The Whole:
The Sun Is Taught By Thee To Rise,
And Darkness When To Veil The Skies.
The Flowery Spring, At Thy Command,
Perfumes The Air And Paints The Land;
The Summer Days With Vigor Shine,
To Raise The Corn And Cheer The Vine.
Thy Hand In Autumn Richly Pours
Through All Our Coasts Redundant Stores;
And Winters, Softened 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.
Here In Thy House Shall Incense Rise,
And Circling Sabbaths Bless Our Eyes,
Still We Will Make Thy Mercies Known
Around Thy Board, Around Our Own.
O May Our More Harmonious Tongue
In Worlds Unknown Pursue The Song;
And In Those Brighter Courts Adore,
Where Days And Years Revolve No More!
