Once more, O Lord, we come to thee

Author: Gilbert Thompson Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #716 (2010) Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Harvest Lyrics: 1 Once more, O Lord, we come to thee, to offer thanks and praise – the harvest time has come again - our grateful songs we raise. Some fruits we bring have come from near, some gifts from distant lands – bananas, sugar, citrus, pears, all offering from our hands. 2 We thank you, Lord, for sea and san, which help our tourist trade – for sunshine warm and summer rain on isles where pirates preyed. In songs we chant our gratitude; for loved ones dear to us, health, family, friends and multitudes of gifts that earn our trust. 3 Today in our Caribbean land once more we bring our praise – thanks-giving time has come again: our voices we shall raise. Another year has come and gone; we have been blessed once more – the offering, which your people bring, flow, from your boundless store. Languages: English Tune Title: CLAUDIUS
