PRAISE YE THE LORD!

Praise ye the Lord! when morning brings Its first bright summons from on high, And the warm valley richly flings Its incense to the glowing sky;— When the glad waters lift their voice, And the low forest-hymn is heard— And all created things rejoice In their great Maker—Praise the Lord!
Praise ye the Lord! when twilight throws Her soothing charm o'er vale and hill; When wearied labor seeks repose, And the loud hum of life is still;— When night is in the earth and air, And naught but watching stars abroad; Then lift the voice of humble prayer, And for his goodness—Praise the Lord!
Praise ye the Lord! when blessings wait Like dew upon your morning hours, When plenty crowds your peaceful gate, And time's swift feet are hid with flowers; When love and friendship join to bless, Then be the Giver's name adored; For health, and hope, and happiness; With grateful voices—Praise the Lord!
Praise ye the Lord! when grief has thrown Its burden on the sinking soul, When the heart's hoarded joys are flown, And death the loved in life has stole; When sickness dims the glowing eye; If then your heart receives the word, And the bruis'd spirit seeks on high For health and comfort—Praise the Lord! [S. S. Times. From the BIBLE EXAMINER of 1850
