Full Lyrics
Great God, at whose allpowerful call,
At first arose this beauteous frame!
By Thee the seasons change, and all
The changing seasons speak Thy name.
Thy bounty bids the infant year,
From winter storms recovered, rise,
When thousand grateful scenes appear,
Fresh opening to our wondering eyes.
Oh how delightful 'tis to see
The earth in vernal beauty drest!
While in each herb, and flower, and tree,
Thy blooming glories shine confest.
Aloft, full beaming, reigns the sun,
And light and genial heat conveys;
And, while he leads the seasons on,
From Thee derives his quickening rays.
We see; we taste, let every heart
With grateful love and duty glow;
Indulgent God! from every part
Thy plenteous blessings overflow!
