We Plough the Fields

Author: Jane M. Campbell; M. Claudius Appears in 472 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Thanksgiving First Line: We plough the fields, and scatter Lyrics: 1 We plow 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. Chorus: 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. [Chorus] 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; Accept the gifts we offer, For all Thy love imparts, And, what Thou most desirest, Our humble, thankful hearts. [Chorus] Used With Tune: WIR PFLÜGEN

A mighty Fortress is our God

Author: Martin Luther Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: The Church Festival of the Reformation Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us free from every need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old bitter foe Means us deadly woe: Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye, Who is this? Jesus Christ it is, Of Sabaoth Lord, And there's none other God, He holds the field for ever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpower us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none, He's judged, the deed is done, One little word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain, And not a thank have for it, He's by our side upon the plain, With His good gifts and Spirit, Take thy then our life, Goods, fame, child and wife; When their worst is done, They yet have nothing won, The Kingdom ours remaineth.
