HYMN.

Praise to God! O let us raise

From our hearts a song of praise!

Of that goodness let us sing

Whence our lives and blessings spring.

Praise to him who made the light,

Praise to him who gave us sight,

Praise to him who formed the ear;

Will he not his children hear?

Praise him for our happy hours,

Praise him for our varied powers,

For these thoughts that rise above,

For these hearts he made for love,

For the voice he placed within,

Bearing witness when we sin;

Praise to him whose tender care

Keeps this watchful guardian there.

Praise his mercy, that did send

Jesus for our guide and friend;

Praise him, every heart and voice,

Him who makes all worlds rejoice.
