103. Harvest song

1 Look abroad o'er the fields of the nation,
See the bounty that gladdens the land,
Raise your voice in the great convocation;
Praise the Lord for the work of his hand.

Refrain:
Praise his name, with a song,
For the gifts of his love, full and free;
Praise his name, with a song,
For the Lord of the harvest is He!

2 For the corn and the grain that we gather,
For the fruit of the field and the vine,
We will thank thee, Oh, bountiful Father,
For the earth and its fullness are thine. [Refrain]

3 With the boughs of the trees, in their glory
We will gladden the house of the Lord,
And remember the beautiful story,
Of the festival days of his word. [Refrain]
