Representative Text

1 The earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness,
And they that upon it do dwell,
For He its foundations established—
To Him let your glad anthems swell.

Refrain:
Sing, sing, sing aloud His praises,
Sing, sing, sing His glorious praise;
Glad, glad, glad thanksgiving render,
Sweetest songs to Jesus raise.

2 The fruits of the earth are His bounties,
His gift is the golden-hued grain;
He sendeth the sunshine and shadow,
He giveth or holdeth the rain. [Refrain]

3 The joys of the harvest thanksgiving,
The Lord, blessèd giver of all,
Hath granted to us, undeserving;
Then praise Him, the great and the small. [Refrain]
