We Plough the Fields, and Scatter

Author: Matthias Claudius Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #351 (1929) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Topics: Special Occasions Thanksgiving Refrain First Line: All good gifts around us Lyrics: 1. We plough 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, O thank the Lord For all His love. 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. [Refrain] 3. We thank Thee, then, O Father, For all things bright and good, The seed-time and the harvest, Our life, our health, our food: No gifts have we to offer, For all Thy love imparts, But that which Thou desirest, Our humble, thankful hearts.
