556 As Saints of Old
[1]
As saints of old their first-fruits brought
Of orchard flock and field
To God the giver of all good
The source of bounteous yield;
So we today first-fruits would bring
The wealth of this good land
Of farm and market shop and home
Of mind and heart and hand.

A world in need now summons us
To labor love and give;
To make our life an offering
To God that all may live
The church of Christ is calling us
To make the dream come true:
A world redeemed by Christ-like love;
All life in Christ made new.
