Fountain Of Mercies, God Of Love

Fountain of mercy, God of love,

Whose gifts all creatures share,

The rolling seasons as they move

Proclaim Thy constant care.

When in the bosom of the earth

The sower hid the grain,

Thy goodness marked its secret birth,

And sent the early rain.

The spring's sweet influence, Lord, was Thine,

The seasons knew Thy call;

Thou mad'st the summer sun to shine,

The summer dews to fall.

The gifts of mercy from above

Matured the swelling grain;

And now the harvest crowns Thy love,

And plenty fills this plain.

O ne'er may our forgetful hearts

O'erlook Thy bounteous care,

But what our Father's hand imparts

Still own in praise and prayer.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

The God Whom we adore,

Be glory, as it was, is now,

And shall be evermore.
