Praise, and thanks, and cheerful love,

Rise from everything below,

To the mighty One above,

Who his wondrous love doth show:

Praise him, each created thing!

God, your Maker; God of spring!

2 Praise him, trees so lately bare;

Praise him, fresh and new-born flowers;

All ye creatures of the air,

All ye soft-descending showers,

Praise, with each awakening thing,

God, your Maker; God of spring!

3 Praise him, man!—thy fitful heart

Let this balmy season move

To employ its noblest part,

Gentlest mercy, sweetest love;

Blessing, with each living thing,

God, your Father; God of spring!
