Delightful is the task to sing,
On each returning day,
The praises of our heavenly King,
And grateful homage pay.
+++++
The countless worlds, which, bathed in light,
Through fields of azure move,
Proclaim his wisdom and his might,
But O, how great his love!
+++++
He deigns each broken, contrite heart
With tender care to bind;
And comfort, hope and grace impart
To heal the wounded mind.
+++++
All creatures with distinctive cry,
From God implore their food;
His bounty grants a rich supply,
And fills the earth with good.
+++++
Delightful is the task, O Lord!
With each returning day
Thy countless music to record
And grateful homage pay.
