[WE PLOUGH THE FIELDS AND SCATTER]
VERSE 1
We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered by God's almighty hands:
He sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 3
We thank thee then O Father for all things bright and good,
The seedtime and the harvest, our hope, our health our food.
Accept the gifts we offer, for all thy love imparts
And what thou most desirest, our humble thankful hearts.
REFRAIN
All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all his love.
[ALMIGHTY FATHER TAKE THIS BREAD]
VERSE 1
Almighty Father take this bread your people offer you;
Where sins divide us take instead
One fold one family.
