1 For Benefits each Day bestow'd,
Daily be Thy great Name ador'd!
Who art our Saviour and our God;
Of Life and Death the Sov'reign Lord.
2 From out thy unexhausted Store,
Thy Rain relieves the thirsty Ground;
Makes Lands, that barren were before,
With Corn and useful Fruits abound.
3 Grass, for our Cattle to devour,
Thou mak'st the Growth of ev'ry Field;
Herbs for Man's Use of various Pow'r,
Which either Food or Physick yield.
4 With cluster'd Grapes thou crown'st the vine,
To chear Man's Heart oppress'd with Cares:
Give'st Oil, that makes his Face to shine,
And Corn, that wasted Strength repairs.
5 Thy Goodness does the circling Year
With fresh Returns of Plenty crown:
And, where thy glorious Paths appear,
Thy fruitful Clouds drop Fatness down.
