-{{Vs|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 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.
-{{Vs|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]
-{{Vs|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 humble, thankful hearts.
-[Refrain]
