Representative Text

1 O God, with thanks unfeigned
We bless thee for thy word;
We praise thee for the joyful news

Till righteousness and holy joy
In all our hearts appear.

3 Water the sacred seed,
Oh, may its growth increase;

Prevent the fruits of peace.

4 And though we sow in tears,
The reaping time will come;
Angels will gather in our sheaves
At earth's great harvest home.

Amen.
