- 1Praise to God, immortal praise,
- For the love that crowns our days!
- Bounteous Source of ev'ry joy,
- Let Thy praise our tongues employ!
- 2For the blessings of the field,
- For the stores the gardens yield;
- Flocks that whiten all the plain;
- Yellow sheaves of ripened grain:
- 3All that spring, with bounteous hand,
- Scatters o’er the smiling land;
- All that autumn freely pours
- From her overflowing stores:
- 4These to Thee, my God, we owe,
- Source whence all our blessings flow.
- And for these my souls shall raise
- Grateful vows and solemn praise.
- 5Amen.
