|
|
<p>We plow the fields, and scatter the good seed on the land,<br>
|
|
But it is fed and watered by God’s almighty hand;<br>
|
|
He sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain,<br>
|
|
The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">All good gifts around us<br>
|
|
Are sent from heaven above,<br>
|
|
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord<br>
|
|
For all His love.</p>
|
|
<p>He only is the Maker of all things near and far;<br>
|
|
He paints the wayside flower, He lights the evening star;<br>
|
|
The winds and waves obey Him, by Him the birds are fed;<br>
|
|
Much more to us, His children, He gives our daily bread.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>We thank Thee, then, O Father, for all things bright and good,<br>
|
|
The seed time and the harvest, our life, our health, and food;<br>
|
|
No gifts have we to offer, for all Thy love imparts,<br>
|
|
But that which Thou desirest, our humble, thankful hearts.</p>
