For the Fruits of His Creation

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Poverty Lyrics: 1 For the fruits of his creation, thanks be to God. For his gifts to every nation, thanks be to God. For the plowing, sowing, reaping, silent growth while we are sleeping, future needs in earth's safekeeping, thanks be to God. 2 In the just reward of labor, God's will be done. In the help we give our neighbor, God's will be done. In our worldwide task of caring for the hungry and despairing, in the harvests we are sharing, God's will be done. 3 For the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God. For the good we all inherit, thanks be to God. For the wonders that astound us, for the truths that still confound us, most of all that love has found us, thanks be to God.

Now Join We to Praise the Creator

Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Poverty Lyrics: 1 Now join we to praise the creator, Our voices in worship and song; We stand to recall with thanksgiving That to God all seasons belong. 2 We thank you, O God, for your goodness, For the joy and abundance of crops, For food that is stored in our larders, For all we can buy in the shops. 3 But also of need and starvation We sing with concern and despair, Of skills that are used for destruction, Of land that is burnt and laid bare. 4 We cry for the plight of the hungry While harvests are left on the field, For orchards neglected and wasting, For produce from markets withheld. 5 The song grows in depth and in wideness: The earth and its people are one. There can be no thanks without giving, No words without deeds that are done. 6 Then teach us, O Lord of the harvest, To be humble in all that we claim; To share what we have with the nations, To care for the world in your name.

Praise the LORD! Sing Hallelujah!

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Poverty Lyrics: 1 Praise the LORD! Sing hallelujah! Come, our great Redeemer praise. I will sing the glorious praises of my God through all my days. Put no confidence in princes, nor on human help depend. They shall die, to dust returning; all their thoughts and plans shall end. 2 Happy is the one who chooses Jacob's God to be his aid. They are blest whose hope of blessing on the LORD their God is stayed. Heaven and earth the LORD created, seas and all that they contain. He delivers from oppression; righteousness he will maintain. 3 Food he daily gives the hungry, sets the mourning prisoner free, raises those bowed down with anguish, makes the sightless eyes to see. God our Savior loves the righteous, and the stranger he befriends, helps the orphan and the widow, judgment on the wicked sends. 4 Praise the LORD! Sing hallelujah! Come, our great Redeemer praise. I will sing the glorious praises of my God through all my days. Over all God reigns forever; through all ages he is King. Unto him, your God, O Zion, joyful hallelujahs sing.
