HYMN FROM PSALM LXV. BY THE SAME . PRAISE to th' Almighty Lord of Heaven arise , Who fix'd the mountains , and who spread the skies ; Who o'er his works extends paternal care , Whose kind protection all the nations share ; From the glad climes whence morn in beauty drest , Forth goes rejoicing to the farthest west ; On Him alone their whole dependance lies , And his rich mercy every want supplies . O Thou , great Author of th' extended Whole , Revolving Seasons praise thee as they roll : By thee Spring , Summer , Autumn , Winter rise , Thou giv'st the frowning , Thou the smiling skies ; By thy command the softening shower distils , Till genial warmth the teeming furrow fills ; Then favouring sunshine o'er the clime extends , And , blest by thee , the verdant blade ascends : Next Spring's gay products clothe the flowery hills , And joy the wood , and joy the valley fills ; Then soon thy bounty swells the golden ear , And bids the harvest crown the fruitful year : Thus all thy works conspicuous worship raise , And Nature's face proclaims her Maker's praise .
