Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #562 (1985) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Hymnal Title: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Come, sing a song of harvest, Of thanks for daily food!
To offer God the first-fruits is old as gratitude.
2 Long, long ago, the reapers, before they kept the feast,
Put first-fruits in a basket, and took it to the priest.
3 Shall we, sometimes forgetful oh where creation starts,
With science in our pockets lose wonder from our hearts?
4 May God, the great Creator, to whom all life belongs,
Accept these gifts we offer, our service and our songs.
5 And lest the world go hungry while we ourselves are fed,
Make each of us more ready to share our daily bread. Topics: Christan Life Thankfulness Tune Title: LEBENDIGE GEMEINDE
