HYMN FROM PSALM LXV. BY THE SAME. PRAISE to th' Almighty Lord of Heaven arise, Who fix'd the mountains, and who spread the skies; Who o'er his works extends paternal care, Whose kind protection all the nations share; From the glad climes whence morn in beauty drest, Forth goes rejoicing to the farthest west; On Him alone their whole dependance lies, And his rich mercy every want supplies. O Thou, great Author of th' extended Whole, Revolving Seasons praise thee as they roll: By thee Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter rise, Thou giv'st the frowning, Thou the smiling skies; By thy command the softening shower distils, Till genial warmth the teeming furrow fills; Then favouring sunshine o'er the clime extends, And, blest by thee, the verdant blade ascends: Next Spring's gay products clothe the flowery hills, And joy the wood, and joy the valley fills; Then soon thy bounty swells the golden ear, And bids the harvest crown the fruitful year: Thus all thy works conspicuous worship raise, And Nature's face proclaims her Maker's praise.
