<poem>
Eternal source of every joy,
Well may thy praise our lips employ;
While in thy temple we appear,
Whose goodness crowns the circling year.
 
The flow'ry spring at thy command
Embalms the air, and paints the land:
The summer rays with vigour shine
To raise the corn and cheer the vine.
 
Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours
Through all our coasts redundant stores;
And winters, soften'd by thy care
No more a face of horror wear.
 
Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days
Demand successive songs of praise:
Still be the cheerful homage paid
With opening light, and evening shade.
</poem>

Edition notes: The source gives the parts in the order Tenor - Alto - Treble - Bass (labelled as such in the first piece in the book). The treble and bass parts are bracketed together, with small notes between them to fill in the harmony of a keyboard part doubling the voices. This accompaniment has been omitted from the present edition. Only the first verse of the text is underlaid in the source: three subsequent verses have been added editorially.
