:''Philip Doddridge, 1755'' | |||
Eternal source of every joy! | |||
Well may thy praise our lips employ, | |||
While in thy temple we appear, | |||
Whose goodness crowns the circling year. | |||
Wide as the wheels of nature roll | |||
Thy hand supports the steady pole: | |||
The sun is taught by thee to rise, | |||
And darkness when to veil the skies. | |||
The flowery spring at thy command | |||
Embalms the air, and paints the land; | |||
The summer rays with vigor shine | |||
To raise the corn, and cheer the vine. | |||
Thy hand in autumn richly pours | |||
{{ | Through all our coasts redundant stores; | ||
And winters, softened 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. | |||
Here in thy house shall incense rise, | |||
As circling Sabbaths bless our eyes; | |||
Still will we make thy mercies known, | |||
Around thy board, and round our own. | |||
O may our more harmonious tongues | |||
In worlds unknown pursue the songs; | |||
And in those brighter courts adore, | |||
Where days and years revolve no more.}} | |||

:''Timothy Swan, 1801'' | |||
Eternal source of every joy! | |||
Thy praise shall every voice employ, | |||
While we within thy courts appear, | |||
And sing the bounties of the year. | |||
As worlds of glory round thee roll | |||
Thy hand supports the steadfast pole: | |||
Directs the sun what hour to rise, | |||
And darkness when to veil the skies. | |||
The flowery spring at thy command | |||
Embalms the air, and paints the land; | |||
The blazing beams of summer shine | |||
To raise the corn, and cheer the vine. | |||
Thy hand in autumn richly pours | |||
The copious fruit along the shores; | |||
While wintry storms direct our eyes | |||
With fear and wonder to the skies. | |||
Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days | |||
Demand returning songs of praise; | |||
The opening light and evening shade | |||
Shall see the cheerful homage paid. | |||
And O may our harmonious tongues | |||
In worlds unknown pursue the songs; | |||
And in those brighter courts adore, | |||
Where days and years revolve no more.}} | |||
