Hymn XLIX. Psal. 104.24, 27, 28.
HOW many are thy Works, O Lord, In Wisdom all composed? The Earth by thee is richly stored With Treasures there enclosed. On thee do all the Creatures wait, And as Expectants stand, To have their seasonable food From thy dispensing hand. ⟨p. 54⟩That which thou givest as thou seest best, They gather for their food; Thy liberal hand thou openest, And they are filled with good.

14, 15. For Cattle thou makest Grass to spring, And Herbs for Man's own use; Convenient food for every thing Thou makest the Earth produce. To glad Man's heart, the fruitful Soil Brings forth the Grape for Wine, Heart-strengthening Bread, and precious Oil, Which makes his face to shine.
