The seed by Thee provided Is sown o'er hill and plain, And Thou with gentle showers Dost bless the springing grain. 3 The year with good Thou crownest, The earth Thy mercy fills, The wilderness is fruitful, And joyful are the hills; With corn the vales are covered, The flocks in pastures graze; All nature joins in singing A joyful song of praise.
