Praise to Our God Whose Bounteous Hand { Praise to Our God Whose Bounteous Hand EASTER SONG-Catholische Kirchengesange, Cologne, 1623 Praise to Our God, Whose Bounteous Hand } Praise to our God, Whose bounteous hand Prepared of old our glorious land; A garden fenced with silver sea; A people prosprous, strong, and free. Praise to our God; through all our past His mighty arm hath held us fast; Till wars and perils, toils and tears. Have brought the rich and peaceful years. Praise to our God; the vine He set Within our coasts is fruitful yet; On many a shore her offshoots grow; 'Neath many a sun her clusters glow. Praise to our God; His power alone Can keep unmoved our ancient throne. Sustain'd by counsels wise and just, And guarded by a people's trust. Praise to our God; Who still forbears, Who still this sinful nation spares, Who calls us still to seek His face, And lengthens out our day of grace. Praise to our God; through chast'nings stern Our evil dross should throughly burn, His rod and staff, from age to age, Shall rule and guide His heritage!
