We plough the fields and scatter

- 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.
- All good gifts around us
- Are sent from heaven above;
- Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord,
- For all His love.
- 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.
- We thank Thee, then, O Father,
- For all things bright and good;
- The seedtime 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.
