Thanksgiving for Fair Weather After Much Rain

O God, Thou art good and doest good. Thou hast again surpassed our deserts, and been better to us than our fears. Thou hast caused the clear shining after rain; so that in the meadows the hay appeareth; and in the fields Thou art preparing of thy goodness for the poor. Thou preserves! man and beast. May we feel our entire dependence upon Thee; and by prayer and praise, give Thee the glory that is due unto thy holy name.
