The Lord is good, the heavenly King,
He makes the earth his care;
Visits the pastures every spring,
And bids the grass appear.
The times and seasons, days and hours,
Heaven, earth, and air are thine;
When clouds distil in fruitful showers,
The author is divine.
The softened ridges of the field
Permit the corn to spring;
The valleys rich provision yield,
And all the laborers sing.
The various months thy goodness crowns;
How bounteous are thy ways!
The bleating flocks spread o'er the downs,
And shepherds shout thy praise.
