558   For the Fruits of His Creation




[1]
For the fruits of His creation thanks be to God;
For the gifts to every nation thanks be to god;
For the plowing sowing reaping
Silent growth while men are sleeping
Future needs in earth s safe keeping thanks be to God!

[2]
In the just reward of labor God s will is done;
In the help we give our neighbor God s will is done;
In our world-wide task of caring
For the hungry and despairing
In the harvests men are sharing God s will is done.

[3]
For the harvests of His Spirit thanks be to God;
For the good all men 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!
