The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook ‎#60

60. We thank You, Lord, for all Your gifts

1 We thank You, Lord, for all Your gifts
of sunshine warm, and showers of rain
that ripened all the lively fruits
and fields of golden grain.

2 We thank You for the joy that comes
to us, when harvest gifts we bring–
that others, too, may know Your love,
which speaks through everything.

3 O give us love, thankful hearts,
for all Your goodness, love, and care;
and help us always to be glad
to give away and share.
