Praise God for the harvest of farm and of field

Author: Brian Wren (born 1936) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #288 (1987) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: God's World Land, Sea, and Harvest Lyrics: 1 Praise God for the harvest of farm and of field, praise God for the people who gather their yield, the long hours of labour, the skills of a team, the patience of science, the power of machine. 2 Praise God for the harvest that's sent from afar, from market and harbour, from tropical shore: foods packed and transported, and planted and grown by God-given neighbours, unseen and unknown. 3 Praise God for the harvest that comes from the ground, by drill or by mineshaft, by opencast mound; for oil and for iron, for tinplate and coal, praise God, who in love has provided them all. 4 Praise God for the harvest of science and skill, the urge to discover, create, and fulfil: for all new inventions that promise to gain a future more hopeful, a world more humane. 5 Praise God for the harvest of mercy and love, for leaders and peoples who struggle and serve to conquer oppression, earth's plenty increase, and gather God's harvest of justice and peace.

All good gifts around us are sent from heaven 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. All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above; then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all his love. 3 We thank you, then, our Father, for all things bright and good; the seed-time and the harvest, our life, our health, our food: accept the gifts we offer for all your love imparts; and that which you most welcome our humble, thankful hearts! All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above; then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all his love. Languages: English Tune Title: WIR PFLÜGEN
