you nourish it with rain;
the streams and rivers overflow,
the land bears seed again.
2 The soil is yours, O God,
the shoots are moist with dew,
and, ripened by the burning sun,
the corn grows straight and true.
3 The hills are yours, O God,
their grass is lush and green,
providing pastures for the flocks,
which everywhere are seen.
4 The whole rich land is yours,
for fodder or for plough,
and so, for rain, sun, soil and seed,
O God, we thank you now. Topics: Our Response to God n times and seasons; The Activity of God God in creation; God In Creation; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: ROSSLEIGH
