Author: Matthias Claudius; Jane M. Campbell Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #294 (1934) Refrain First Line: All good gifts around us Lyrics: 1 We plough 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 heav'n 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 winds 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 Thee, then, O Father,
For all things bright and good;
The seed-time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food;
No gift have we to offer,
For all Thy love imparts,
But that which Thou desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We plough the fields, and scatter]
