894. Sing to the Lord of Harvest

1 Sing to the Lord of harvest,
Sing songs of love and praise;
With joyful hearts and voices
Your alleluias raise!
By God the rolling seasons
In fruitful order move;
Sing to the Lord of harvest
A joyful song of love.

2 The clouds all drop God's bounty,
The deserts bloom and spring;
The hills leap up in gladness,
The valleys laugh and sing.
God gifts the earth in fullness,
All things with large increase,
And crowns the year with goodness,
With plenty and with peace.

3 Place on the sacred altar
The gifts which goodness gave,
The golden sheaves of harvest,
The souls Christ came to save;
Your hearts lay down in homage,
At holy feet now fall,
Through all your life adoring
The One who died for all.
