y luego el sembrador
en ellos la simiente
esparce con amor.
Mas es de Dios la mano
que ha hace germinar,
calor y lluvia dando
a todos por igual.
2 El hacedor supremo
de cuanto existe es él.
Su aroma da a las flores
y a las abejas miel.
Las aves alimenta,
de peces puebla el mar,
y da a las gentes todas
el cotidiano pan.
3 Mil gracias, Dios, te damos
por cuanto bien nos das:
la sembra y la cosecha,
salud, la vida, el pan.
No hay con qué paguemos
lo que nos da tu amor,
más que nuestro sincero
y humilde corazón.

1 We plow the fields and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand.
God sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
2 You only are the Maker
For all things near and far;
You paint the wayside flower,
You light the evening star.
The winds and waves obey you,
By you the birds are fed;
Much more to us, your children,
You give our daily bread.
3 We thank you, our Creator,
For all things bright and good:
The seedtime and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food.
No gifts have we to offer
For what your love imparts
But what you most would treasure:
Our humble, thankful hearts. Topics: Acción de Gracias; Thanksgiving; Creation; Creación; Providence; Providencia Used With Tune: SAN FERNANDO

of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
his hand the wonders wrought.

the birds their carols raise;
the morning light, the lily white
declare their Maker’s praise.

he shines in all that’s fair;
in the rustling grass I hear him pass,
he speaks to me ev'rywhere.
3 This is my Father’s world:
O let us not forget
that though the wrong is great and strong
God is our Father yet.

all creatures ev'rywhere.

God, who stretched the spangled heavens
Author: Catherine Cameron, 1927- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 2:7-15 Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens
infinite in time and place,
flung the suns in burning radiance
through the silent fields of space,
we your children, in your likeness,
share inventive powers with you:
great Creator, still creating,
show us what we yet may do.
2 Proudly rise our modern cities,
stately buildings, row on row;
yet their windows, blank, unfeeling,
stare on canyoned streets below,
where the lonely drift unnoticed
in the city’s ebb and flow,
lost to purpose and to meaning,
scarcely caring where they go.
3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of
since the childhood of our race;
known the ecstasy of winging
through untraveled realms of space;
probed the secrets of the atom,
yielding unimagined power,
facing us with life’s destruction
or our most triumphant hour.
4 As each far horizon beckons,
may it challenge us anew,
children of creative purpose,
serving others, honouring you.
May our dreams prove rich with promise,
each endeavor, well begun:
great Creator, give us guidance
till our goals and yours are one. Topics: Art and Learning; City; Courage; Discipleship; Environment; Fulfilment; Gifts in Creation; Guidance; Providence; Science Used With Tune: LE THRORNET
