Hymn 241
L.M.
1. The flowery spring, at God's command,
Perfumes the air, and paints the land:
The summer rays with vigor shine,
To raise the corn, and cheer the vine.

2. His hand in autumn richly pours,
Through all her coasts, redundant stores;
And winters, softened by his care,
No more the face of horror wear.

3. The changing seasons, months, and days
Demand successive songs of praise;
And be the cheerful homage paid,
With morning light, and evening shade.

4. And oh, may each harmonious tongue
In worlds unknown the praise prolong,
And in those brighter courts adore,
Where days and years revolve no more.
