We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land
but it is fed and watered by God’s almighty hand.
He sends the snow in Winter, the warmth to swell the grain,
the breezes and the sunshine with soft, refreshing rain.
All good gifts around us are sent from Heaven above
so thank the lord, yes, thank the lord for all his love.

He is the only maker of all things near and far.
He paints the wayside flower and 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.
All good gifts around us are sent from Heaven above
so thank the lord, yes, thank the lord for all his love.

We thank you then, O father, for all things bright and good:
the seed time and the harvest, our life, our health and food.
Accept these gifts we offer for all your love imparts
and what you most desire: our humble, thankful hearts.
All good gifts around us are sent from Heaven above
so thank the lord, yes, thank the lord for all his love.
