  We plow the fields, and scat -- ter 
  The good seed on the land,
  But it is fed and wa -- tered
  By God's al -- might -- y hand;
  He sends the snow in win -- ter, 
  The warmth to swell the grain,
  The breez -- es and the sun -- shine,
  And soft re -- fresh -- ing rain.
  All good gifts a -- round us
  Are sent from heav'n a -- bove;
  Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
  For all his love.

  He on -- ly is the Ma -- ker
  Of all things near and far;
  He paints the way -- side flow -- er,
  He lights the eve -- ning star;
  The winds and waves o -- bey him,
  By him the birds are fed;
  Much more to us, his chil -- dren,
  He gives our dai -- ly bread.

  We thank thee, then, O Fa -- ther,
  For all things bright and good,
  The seed -- time and the har -- vest,
  Our life, our health, our food;
  No gifts have we to of -- fer
  For all they love im -- parts,
  But that which thou de -- sir -- est,
  Our hum -- ble thank -- ful hearts.
