Hymn 49 WE PLOUGH THE FIELD Lyrics

1. 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 breeze, and the sunshine.
The soft refreshing rain.

Chorus:
All good gifts around us are sent from
Heaven above: Then thank the Lord.
Oh, 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.

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 humbly, thankful hearts.
