From heaven's abundant store
The waters of the springtime,
Enriching it once more.
2 The seed by God provided
Is sown o’er hill and plain,
And then come gentle showers
To bless the springing grain.
3 God crowns the year with goodness,
The earth God's mercy fills,
The wilderness is fruitful,
And joyful are the hills.
4 With grain the fields are covered,
The flocks in pastures graze;
All nature joins in singing
A joyful song of praise.
