English text

God the All-Fatherly, gracious Bestower,
Grateful, we praise Thee our Bountiful Lord:
Thine is the hand that has guided the sower.
On through the year to the reaper's reward.

Naught can we offer but willing obedience;
Into our lives Thy great love Thou hast sown,
Gather, we pray Thee, our sheaves of allegiance,
Harvest our hearts and make them Thine own.

O Lord, how manifold are Thy works!
in wisdom, in wisdom hast Thou made them all.
O Lord, how manifold, how mani fold are Thy works!
the earth is full, is full of Thy riches.

The eyes of all wait upon Thee, O Lord,
and Thou givest them their meat in due season.
Thou openest Thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of ev 'ry living thing.

O Lord, how manifold are Thy works,
the earth is full of Thy riches.
What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me?

God the All-Fatherly, gracious Bestower,
Grateful, we praise Thee our Bountiful Lord:
Thine is the hand that has guided the sower.
On through the year to the reaper's reward.

Naught can we offer but willing obedience;
Into our lives Thy great love Thou hast sown,
Gather, we pray Thee, our sheaves of allegiance,
Harvest our hearts and make them Thine own,

Praise ye the Lord.
