  1. Praise to God, immortal praise,
    For the love that crowns our days;
    Bounteous Source of every joy,
    Let Thy praise our tongues employ.

  2. For the blessings of the fields,
    For the stores the garden yields,
    For the vine's refreshing juice;
    For the generous olive's use.

  3. Flocks that whiten all the plain;
    Yellow sheaves of ripened grain;
    Clouds that drop their fattening dews,
    Suns that temperate warmth diffuse.

  4. All that Spring with bounteous hand
    Scatters o’er the smiling land;
    All that liberal autumn pours
    From her rich o’erflowing stores.

  5. These to Thee, my God, we owe,
    Source whence all our blessings flow;
    And for these my soul shall raise
    Grateful vows and solemn praise.

  6. Yet, should rising whirlwinds tear
    From its stem the ripening ear;
    Should the fig-tree’s blasted shoot
    Drop her green untimely fruit,

  7. Should the vine put forth no more,
    Nor the olive yield her store;
    Though the sickening flocks should fall,
    And the herds desert the stall,

  8. Yet to Thee my soul shall raise
    Grateful vows and solemn praise;
    And, when every blessing’s flown
    Love Thee for Thyself alone. Amen.
