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;
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 the 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.
