Let thy praise our tongues employ.

2 For the flocks that roam the plain,

Yellow sheaves of ripened grain,

Clouds that drop their fatt'ning dews,

Suns that temp'rate warmth diffuse;

3 All that spring with bounteous hand,

Scatters o'er the smiling land,

All that lib'ral autumn pours

From her rich o'erflowing stores;

4 Lord, for these our souls shall raise
