Thy wisdom, power and goodness, Lord,
In all thy works appear;
But most thy praise should man record,
Man, thy distinguished care.
From thee the breath of life he drew;
That breath thy power maintains;
Thy tender mercy, ever new,
His brittle frame sustains.
Thy providence, his constant guard,
When threatening ills impend,
Or will th’ impending dangers ward,
Or timely succours lend.
Yet nobler favours claim his praise,
Of reason’s light possest;
By revelation’s brighter rays
Still more divinely blest.
All bounteous Lord, thy grace impart;
O teach me to improve
Thy gifts with ever grateful heart,
And crown them with thy love.
