- We plough the fields, and scatter
the good seed on the land,
But it is fed and water’d
by God’s Almighty hand;
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes, and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
Chorus: All good gifts around us,
are sent from Heav’n above.
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord,
For all His love.
- He only is the Maker of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower,
He lights the evening star;
The winds and waves obey Him,
By Him the birds are fed;
Much more to us, His children,
He gives our daily bread. - We thank Thee then. O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seed time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food;
Accept the gifts we offer
for all Thy love imparts.
And, what Thou most desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts.
