167. Harvest Thanksgiving

Lyrics

1. Thou visitest the earth with showers,
Thy boundless store supplies its need
For fields enriched and well prepared
Thou dost provide the sower's seed.

2. The furrows where the seed is sown
Are softened by Thy gentle rain;
Thy gracious care and providence
Supply and bless the springing grain.

3. The year with goodness Thou dost crown,
Thy ways o'erflow with blessedness;
The hills and valleys, clothed with green,
Are joyful in their fruitfulness.

4. The pastures teem with flocks and herds,
The golden grain waves o'er the fields;
All nature, singing joyfully,
Her tribute of thanksgiving yields.
