We Plow the Fields and Scatter

Author: Matthais Clauduis; Jane Montgomery Campbell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 462 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 Refrain First Line: All good gifts around us Lyrics: 1 We plow the fields and scatter the good seed on the land, but it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand. He sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain, the breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain. Refrain: All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above; then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all his love. 2 He only is the maker of all things near and far; he paints the wayside flower, he lights the evening star. The wind and waves obey him, by him the birds are fed; much more to us, his children, he gives our daily bread. Refrain 3 We thank you, our Creator, for all things bright and good: the seedtime and the harvest, our life, our health, our food. Accept the gifts we offer for all your love imparts; accept what you most welcome: our humble, thankful hearts!

The Lord is most great, with glory arrayed, majestic his state; the light is his garment, the skies are his shade, and over the waters his courts he has laid. 2 He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm, the lightning and wind his mission perform; the earth he has founded her station to keep, and wrapped as a vesture about her the deep. 3 He waters the hills with rain from the skies, and plentiful grass and herbs he supplies, supplying the cattle, and blessing man's toil with bread in abundance, with wine and with oil. 4 The trees which the Lord has planted are fed, and over the earth their branches are spread; they keep in their shelter the birds of the air, the life of each creature the Lord makes his care. 5 Your Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound, the earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground; to God ascribe glory and wisdom and might, let God in his creatures forever delight. 6 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet, while sinners depart in ruin complete; my soul, bless Jehovah, his name be adored, come, praise him, you people, and worship the Lord.

Your Spirit, O LORD, Makes Life to Abound

Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 Lyrics: 1 Your Spirit, O LORD, makes life to abound. The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground. To God be all glory and wisdom and might. May God in his creatures forever delight. 2 My soul, praise the LORD! The LORD is most great, with glory arrayed, majestic in state. The light is his garment, the skies form a tent, and over the waters his couriers are sent. 3 He rides on the clouds and wings of the storm. The lightning and wind his mission perform. Foundations of earth he forever has stayed; to cover it, oceans like garments were laid. 4 On mountains and plains the dark waters lay. They heard his rebuke and hurried away. He lifted the mountains, to valleys gave birth, set boundaries for seas that once covered the earth. Repeat stanza 1 5 God causes the springs of water to flow in streams from the hills to valleys below. The LORD gives the streams for all living things there, while birds with their singing enrapture the air. 6 Down mountains and hills your showers are sent. With fruit of your work the earth is content. You give grass for cattle and food for our toil, enriching our labors with bread, wine, and oil. 7 The trees that the LORD has planted are fed, and over the earth their branches are spread. They keep in their shelter the birds of the air. The life of each creature God keeps in his care. Repeat stanza 1 8 The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine. The slow-changing moon shows forth God's design. The sun in its circuit its Maker obeys and, running its journey, hastes not nor delays. 9 The LORD makes the night, when, leaving their lair, the lions go forth, God's bounty to share. The LORD makes the morning, when beasts steal away, when we are beginning the work of the day. 10 How many and wise the works of the LORD! The earth with its wealth of creatures is stored. The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro; Leviathan plays in the waters below. 11 Your creatures all look to you for their food. Your hand opens wide, they gather the good. When you hide your face, LORD, in anguish they yearn; when you stop their breathing, to dust they return. Repeat stanza 1 12 Before the LORD's might earth trembles and quakes. The mountains are rent, and smoke from them breaks. I promise to worship the LORD all my days. Yes, while I have being, my God I will praise. 13 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet. May sinners depart in ruin complete. My soul, praise the LORD God his name be adored. Come, praise him, all people, and worship the LORD.

The Works of the Lord Are Created

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 12.11.12.11 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 First Line: The works of the Lord are created in wisdom Lyrics: 1 The works of the Lord are created in wisdom! We view the earth's wonders and call him to mind; we hear what he says in the world we discover, and God show his glory in all that we find. 2 Not even the angels have ever been granted to tell the full story of nature and grace; but open to God is all human perception, the mysteries of time and the secrets of space. 3 The sun every morning lights up all creation, the moon marks the rhythm of months in their turn; the glittering stars are arrayed in his honor, adorning the years as they ceaselessly burn. 4 The wind is his breath and the clouds are his signal, the rain and the snow are the robes of his choice; the storm and the lightning, his watchmen and heralds, the crash of the thunder, the sound of his voice. 5 The song is unfinished; how shall we complete it, and where find the skill to perfect all God's praise? At work in all places, he cares for all peoples-- how great is the Lord to the end of all days!
