Author: Asa Fitz; Rev. Godfrey Thring Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Flower Services Lyrics: 1 Great Giver of all good,
To Thee our thanks we yield
For all the beauties of the wood,
Of hill, and dale, and field.
Ten thousand various flow’rs
To Thee sweet off’rings bear,
And joyous birds in woodlands bow’rs
Sing forth Thy tender care.
2 The fields on ev’ry side
The trees on ev’ry hill,
The glorious sun, the rolling tide,
Proclaim Thy wonders still.
But trees, and fields, and skies
Still praise a God unknown;
For gratitude and love can rise
From living hearts alone.
3 These living hearts of ours
Thy holy Name would bless;
The blossoms of the thousand flow’rs
Would please the Saviour less.
While earth itself decays,
Our souls can never die;
O tune them all to sing Thy praise
In better songs on high. Used With Tune: BUERMEYER
