Extol him high Who spreads his clouds along the sky; There he prepares the fruitful rain, Nor lets the drops descend in vain. 4 He makes the grass the hills adorn, And clothes the smiling fields with corn; The beasts with food his hands supply, And the young ravens when they cry. 5 His saints are lovely in his sight; He views his children with delight; He sees their hope, he knows their fear, He looks and loves his image here.

Now direct our daily labor, lest we strive for self alone; born with talents, make us servants fit to answer at Your throne. 3 Treasure, too, You have entrusted, gain through powers Your grace conferred; ours to use for home and kindred, and to spread the gospel Word. Open wide our hands in sharing, as we heed Christ's ageless call, healing, teaching, and reclaiming, serving You by loving all. Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

Author: Frank von Christierson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Thankfulness Lyrics: 1 As those of old their first-fruits brought of vineyard, flock, and field to God, the giver of all good, the source of bounteous yield, so we today our first-fruits bring, the wealth of this good land: of farm and market, shop and home, of mind and heart and hand. 2 A world in need now summons us to labour, love, and give; to make our life an offering to God that all may live. The church of Christ is calling us to make the dream come true: a world redeemed, by Christ-like love, all life in Christ made new. 3 With gratitude and humble trust we bring our best to you, not just to serve your cause, but share your love with neighbours too. O God, who gave yourself to us in Jesus Christ, your son, help us to give ourselves each day until life's work is done. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN
