Almighty Sovereign of the skies,

To thee let songs of gladness rise,

Each grateful heart its tribute bring,

And every voice thy goodness sing.

2 From thee our choicest blessings flow,

Life, health and strength, thy hands bestow;

The daily good thy creatures share,

Springs from thy providential care.

3 The rich profusion nature yields,

The harvest waving o’er the fields,

The cheering light, refreshing shower,

Are gifts from thy exhaustless store.

4 At thy command the vernal bloom

Revives the world from winter’s gloom;

The summer’s heat the fruit matures,

And autumn all her treasures pours.

5 From thee proceed domestic ties,

Connubial bliss, parental joys;

On thy support the nations stand,

Obedient to thy high command.

6 Let every power of heart and tongue

Unite to swell the grateful song;

While age and youth in chorus join,

And praise the Majesty divine.
