Come let us praise the name of God
Who spread the lofty skies;
And to the firmament above
Uplift our wond'ring eyes.
Slow floating in the blue expanse
The watery clouds to view;
Whence fruitful showers, at God's command|
The thirsty soil bedow.
How fair a type of God's free grace
Which to our souls is given:
It drops into the inner man
Like gentle dews from heaven
And as the fsithful heart receives
The sanctifying shower,
In rapture sweet 'tis raised aloft
By God's Almighty power.
Oh happy saints, on whom are poured
Such blessings from above :
Oh, may they show a thankful heart.
And render love for love.
To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Holy Ghost,
All glory be from saints on earth,
And from the angel-host.
