Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 65
Isaac Watts
Good is the Lord, the heav'nly King,
Who makes the earth His care;
Visits the pastures ev'ry spring,
And bids the grass appear.
2 The clouds, like rivers, raised on high,
Pour out at Thy command
Their watery blessings from the sky,
To cheer the thirsty land.
3 The soften'd ridges of the field
Permit the corn to spring;
The valleys rich provision yield,
And the poor labourers sing.
4 The little hills on every side
Rejoice at falling showers;
The meadows, dress'd in all their pride,
Perfume the air with flowers.
5 The various months Thy goodness crowns;
How bounteous are Thy ways!
The bleating flocks spread o'er the downs,
And shepherds shout Thy praise.
Isaac Watts, 1719.
