Christian Worship The Goodness Of God In The Seasons.
Great God! at whose all-powerful 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.
O, how delightful ’tis to see
The earth in vernal beauty dressed!
While in each herb, and flower, and tree,
Thy bright perfections shine confessed!
Indulgent God! from every part,
Thy plenteous blessings largely flow;
We see,-we taste;-let every heart
With grateful love and duty glow.
