561   We Plow the Fields




[1]
We plow the fields and scatter
The good seed on the land
But it is fed and watered
By God s almighty hand.
He sends the snow in winter
The warmth to swell the grain
The breezes and the sunshine
And soft refreshing rain.

[C]
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord
O thank the Lord
For all His love.

[2]
He only is the Maker
Of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower
He lights the evening star.
The winds and waves obey Him
By Him the birds are fed;
Much more to us His children
He gives our daily bread.

[C]
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord
O thank the Lord
For all His love.

[3]
We thank Thee then O Father
For all things bright and good:
The seedtime and the harvest
Our life our health our food.
Accept the gifts we offer
For all Thy love imparts
And what Thou most desirest
Our humble thankful hearts.

[C]
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord
O thank the Lord
For all His love.
