For the Fruit of All Creation

Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For the fruit of all creation, thanks be to God. For the gifts to ev'ry nation, thanks be to God. For the plowing, sowing, reaping, silent growth while we are sleeping, future needs in earth's safekeeping, thanks be to God. 2 In the just reward of labor, God's will be done. In the help we give our neighbor, God's will be done. In our worldwide task of caring for the hungry and despairing, in the harvests we are sharing, God's will be done. 3 For the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God. For the good we all inherit, thanks be to God. For the wonders that astound us, for the truths that still confound us, most of all that love has found us, thanks be to God.

From the pow'r of evil hide us, in the narrow pathway guide us, nor thy smile be e'er denied us the live-long day. 3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping; and when we die, may we, in thy mighty keeping, all peaceful lie: when the last dread trump shall wake us, do not thou, O God, forsake us, but to reign in glory take us with thee on high.

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, Hill and vale in slumber sleeping, I my loving vigil keeping, All through the night. 2 While the moon her watch is keeping All through the night; While the weary world is sleeping All through the night. Over thy spirit gently stealing, Visions of delight revealing, Breathes a pure and holy feeling, All through the night. 3 Deep the silence round us spreading, All through the night; Dark the path that we are treading, All through the night. Still the coming day discerning, By the hope within us burning, To the dawn our footsteps turning, All through the night. 4 Star of Faith the dark adorning, All through the night; Leads us fearless toward the morning, All through the night. Though our hearts be wrapped in sorrow, From the home of dawn we borrow, Promise of a glad tomorrow, All through the night.

Harps and songs forever sounding Worthy the Lamb! Mighty grace o'er sin abounding, Worthy the Lamb! By His blood he dearly bought us; Wand'ring from the fold He sought us; And to glory safely brought us: Worthy the Lamb! 4. Sing with blest anticipation, Worthy the Lamb! Thro' the vale of tribulation, Worthy the Lamb! Sweetest notes, all notes excelling, On the theme forever dwelling, Still untold, tho' ever telling, Worthy the Lamb!
