1.With songs and honors sounding loud,Address the Lord on high;Over the heavens He spreads His cloud,And waters veil the sky.2.He sends His showers of blessing downTo cheer the plains below;He makes the grass the mountains crown,And corning valleys grow.3.His steady counsels change the faceOf the declining year;He bids the sun cut short his race,And wintry days appear.4.He sends His word, and melts the snow;The fields no longer mourn;He calls the warmer gales to blow,And bids the spring return.5.The changing wind, the flying cloud,Obey His mighty word:With songs and honors sounding loudPraise ye the sovereign Lord!
