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.
Refrain: All good gifts around us Are sent from heav’n above; Then thank the Lord, oh, thank the Lord, For all His love.
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.
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.
