The Words
1Praise, O praise our God and King!
Hymns of adoration sing;
For His mercies still endure
Ever faithful, ever sure.
2Praise Him that He made the Sun
Day by day his course to run;
For His mercies still endure
Ever faithful, ever sure:
3And the silver Moon by night,
Shining with her gentle light;
For His mercies still endure
Ever faithful, ever sure.
4Praise Him that He gave the rain
To mature the swelling grain;
For His mercies still endure
Ever faithful, ever sure:
5And hath bid the fruitful field
Crops of precious increase yield;
For His mercies still endure
Ever faithful, ever sure.
6Praise Him for our Harvest-store,
He hath filled the Garner-floor;
For His mercies still endure
Ever faithful, ever sure:
7And for richer Food than this,
Pledge of everlasting bliss;
For His mercies still endure
Ever faithful, ever sure.
8Glory to our Bounteous King!
Glory let creation sing!
Glory to the Father, Son,
And Blest Spirit, Three in One.
Amen.
The Page It Came From
Where It Comes From
Read note by note from Hymns Ancient and Modern (Novello, London, 1861), and checked against the printed page. See that page in the scan of the book at the Internet Archive: open the page.
First published in London in 1861. Every tune, harmony and text in it was printed by 1861, so all its writers died long before 1966, and the book is out of copyright in India and the USA.
