thy love has blessed the wide world's wondrous story
with light and life since Eden's dawning day.

in all the ages, with the fire and cloud,
through seas dry-shod, through weary wastes bewild'ring
to thee, in rev'rent love, our hearts are bowed.

and calming passion's fierce and stormy gales.

from thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river,
our plenty, wealth, prosperity, and peace.

O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring,
praise we the goodness that doth crown our days;
pray we that thou wilt hear us, still imploring
thy love and favor, kept to us always.
