The flow'ry spring at God's command,
Perfumes the air and paints the land:
The summer rays with vigor shine,
To raise the corn, and cheer the vine.
His hand in autumn richly pours,
Thro' all her coasts, redundant stores:
And winters, soften'd by bis care,
No more the face of horror wear.
Seasons and months, and weeks, and days.
Demand successive songs of praise;
And be the cheerful homage paid,
With morning light and ev'ning shade.
And Oh, may each harmonious tongue
In words unknown the praise prolong;
And in those brighter courts adore,
Where days and years revolve no more.
