Author: F. Pratt Green (b. 1903) Hymnal: HfC1974 #13 (1974) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Tune Title: EAST ACKLAM Lyrics: 1 For the fruits of his creation,
thanks be to God;
For his gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God;
For the ploughing, sowing, reaping,
Silent growth while men are sleeping,
Future needs in earth's safe keeping,
thanks be to God!
2 In the just reward of labour,
God's will is done;
In the help we give our neighbour,
God's will is done;
In our world-wide task of caring
For the hungry and despairing,
In the harvests men are sharing,
God's will is done.
3 For the harvests of his Spirit,
thanks be to God;
For the good all men inherit,
thanks be to God;
For the wonders that astound us,
For the truths that still confound us,
Most of all, that love bas found us,
thanks be to God! Topics: Holy Communion At the Offertory Languages: English
