Author: Jane Montgomery Campbell, 1817 - 78; Matthias Claudius, 1740 - 1815 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #364 (1958) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain 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.
Refrain:
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. [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. [Refrain] Topics: Church Life and Work Rogation and Harvest Languages: English Tune Title: WIR PFLUGEN
