We Plow the Fields, and Scatter

Author: Matthias Claudius Hymnal: HOoS1926 #569 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Refrain First Line: All good gifts around us Lyrics: 1 We plow the fields, and scatter The good seed on the land, But it is fed and watered By God's almighty hand; Ht sends the snow in winter, The warmth to swell the grain, The breezes and the sunshine, And soft, refreshing rain. 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. 3 We thank Thee, then, O Father, For all things bright and good, The seedtime and the harvest, Our life, our health, our food; No gifts have we to offer For all Thy love imparts, But that which Thou desirest, Our humble, thankful hearts.
