For the joy and abundance of crops,
For food that is stored in our larders,
For all we can buy in the shops.

Of skills that are used for destruction,
Of land that is burnt and laid bare.

While harvest are left on the field,
For orchards neglected and wasting,
For produce from markets withheld.

The earth and its people are one.
There can be no thanks without giving,
No words without deeds that are done.
6 Then teach us, O Lord of the harvest,
To be humble in all that we claim;
To share what we have with the nations,
To care for the world in your name.

And that shall kindle ours.
