Priests; Levites; Israelites |
The mighty pow’r in whom we trust, |
Is ever to his promise just; |
He makes this sacred day appear |
The pledge of a propitious year. |
Joad |
He bids the circling season shine, |
Recalls the olive and the wine, |
With blooming plenty loads the plain, |
And crowns the fields with golden grain. |
Priests; Levites; Israelites |
Give glory to His awful name, |
Let ev’ry voice His praise proclaim! |
