Description

I thought of this tune while walking round the park with my friend M.S.


Text

Good it is, and right to bring
Thanks to our all-bounteous King,
With the dawn his love declare,
Through the day, his name to fear.

With the organ's solemn sound,
Let the airs vibrate around.
Music all her powers brings,
Flowing notes and sounding strings.

Vain is human grov'ling sense,
When it bounds thy providence,
Which, mysteriously profound,
Traces all the ages round.
