1 A terra semeamos a fim de nos dar pão,
Mas Deus é Quem a nutre com benfazeja mão;
Ele é Quem manda o frio, a calma no verão,

Louvai a Deus por todo o Seu amor!
2 O Criador de tudo que perto ou longe está,
A flor silvestre pinta e aos astros brilho dá!
Os ventos Lhe obedecem e o bravo mar também;
As frágeis avezinhas ao Seu cuidado tem.
3 A nós, porém, Seus filhos, revela mais amor,
Mandando-nos Seu Filho, Jesus, o Salvador,
Dotando-nos em Cristo com tudo quanto tem,
Fazendo-nos herdeiros de Deus, o Sumo-Bem.
