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 All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all his love 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 desires, 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
