1 Lord, in thy Name thy servants plead,
And thou hast sworn to hear;
Thine is the harvest, thine the seed,
The fresh and fading year.
2 Our hope, when autumn winds blew wild,
We trusted, Lord, with thee;
And now, when spring has on us smiled,
We wait on thy decree. A-men.
3 The former and the latter rain,
The summer sun and air,
The green ear and the golden grain,
All thine, are ours by prayer;
4 Thine too by right, and ours by grace,
The wondrous growth unseen,
The hopes that soothe, the fears that brace,
The love that shines serene.
5 So grant the precious things brought forth
By sun and moon below,
That thee in thy new heaven and earth
We never may forego.
Amen.
