O ye Winter and Summer, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
O Summer, Winter, blend your strain,
And bless the Lord in gloom or glow:
O Summer, let your praises flow
As freely as the gentle rain,
Which feeds the grass and ripening grain,
And bids the rose and lily blow:
O Summer, Winter, blend your strain,
And bless the Lord in gloom or glow.
And bless the Lord in gloom or glow:
O Summer, let your praises flow
As freely as the gentle rain,

And bids the rose and lily blow:
O Summer, Winter, blend your strain,
And bless the Lord in gloom or glow.
O Winter, your loud tempests chain,
And make a silence with your snow,
Softly to welcome Peace below,
And Righteousness without a stain:
O Summer, Winter, blend your strain,
And bless the Lord in gloom or glow.
And make a silence with your snow,
Softly to welcome Peace below,
And Righteousness without a stain:
O Summer, Winter, blend your strain,
And bless the Lord in gloom or glow.
