Harvest Blessings

Verse 1

Thou visitest the earth in love And sendest showers from above, Enriching all the land; Thy streams exhaustless bless the field, Preparing it the grain to yield Provided by Thy hand.

Verse 2

The furrows, sown with living grain, Are softened by Thy gentle rain The springing corn to bless; The year with goodness Thou dost crown, Rich gifts in mercy sending down To cheer the wilderness.

Verse 3

The hills and vales, with verdure clad, Are girt with joy, the earth is glad, New life is all abroad; With feeding flocks the pastures teem, With golden grain the valleys gleam; All nature praises God.
