With every seed that's planted here

1 With every seed that's planted here
beneath the living sod,
men by their harvest hope declare
abiding faith in God.

2 For none would ever sow a seed,
did he not surely know
that God takes every care and heed
of seeds that mortals sow.

3 And those that plant upon the slope,
and those that till the plain,
in God confide their harvest hope
for he controls the rain.

4 And while in moon and stars above
God's planning hand we see,
there's proof of God's eternal love
in every growing tree.

5 'Twas hope that filled our sowing days,
and now at reaping time
to thee, O God, our hearts we raise
in thankfulness sublime.
