In this world below we great blessings receive,
And all things that we see Jehovah does give ;
Thus thousands of mercies encircle us round,
And all we require is sure to be found.

P.M.

Our strength, and our health, our clothing, and food, The great God gives us these, and all that is good; The earth offers plenty, our wants to supply,

And the animals even to feed us must die.

For us does the rain in soft showers alight;
The moon and stars guide our footsteps at night;
The sun shines around us in glory by day,
And gives light to the moon, as philosophers say.

Not merely our wants are thus richly suppliedGod gives us enough for our pleasure beside; The whole world is ready to render us aid, Three kingdoms in nature our servants are made.

Come then, my dear children, God's goodness confess,
Your praise and your thanks with right feelings express,
For mercies He gives you send praises above,
And let none on the earth excel you in love.
