“ The gift of God ! ” what favors have we, 
Which are not sent us from above 1 
Every good and welcome blessing, 
A token is, of our Eather’s love. 
Joyous Spring in youthful beauty, 
Comes to greet us with her smiles ; 
Summer’s sweet and lovely flowers 
Win our hearts, and care beguiles. 
Autumn with her golden harvests, 
Tills our hearts with gratitude ; 
Winter comes with social blessings, 
And loudly sings, God’s gifts are good. 
Above, beneath, around, within, 
We share his blessings day by day, 
Oh ! may we learn His praise to sing, 
Nor cast His precious love away.
