Original Hymn,^ by Mrs. Caroline A. Mason, 



OF FITCHBURG. 



The countless worlds, Oh Lord, are Thine, 



Thy fiat spoke them into birth ; 

 These suns, that in their orbit shine, 



Are Thine, and Thine this moving earth ; — 



This moving earth, with all that fills 



Its wide expanse from sea to sea : 

 The cattle on a thousand hills, 



As well as man, belong to Thee. 



The ripening fruits proclaim thy care ; 



Thy hand, untiring though unseen, 

 With patient skill perfects each pear, 



And ripens every grape we glean. 



The grain springs up, the blade appears, 



Then the full corn beneath the sun ; 

 So, all along the obedient years, 



Thy perfect will on earth is done. 



How manifold thy works, Oh Lord ! 



In wisdom hast thou made them all ; 

 Be Thine Almighty power adored, 



While grateful at thy feet we fall.
