Sing we the glory of our God, Who on the second day Spread out the firmament above, His wonders to display. There, floating in the blue expanse The watery clouds we view, Whence fruitful showers at His command The thirsty soil bedew. How fair an image of the grace Which Thou, Lord, dost impart, Like morning dew or gentle rain, To gladden every heart. And when the faithful soul drinks in Those showers with blessings rife, A well of water springeth up To everlasting life. O happy saints, on whom are poured, Such treasures from above! Lord, may they ne'er forgetful be, But render love for love. To God, Who freely loved us first, All might, all glory be; To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Through all eternity.
