1 Praise to God, immortal praise,
For the love that crowns our days;
Bount'ous source of ev'ry joy,
Let thy praise our tongues employ;
2 For the blessings of the field,
For the stores the gardens yield,
For the vine's exalted juice,
For the gen'rous olive's use;
3 Flocks that whiten all the plain,
Yellow sheaves of ripened grain,
Clouds that drop their fat'ning dews,
Suns that temp'rate warmth diffuse;
4 All that springs with bount'ous hand
Scatters o'er the smiling land;
All that lib'ral autumn pours
From her rich o'erflowing stores;
5 Thanks to thee our God we owe;
Source from whence all blessings flow!
And for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.
