Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #802 (1997) Meter: 12.12.8.8.12 Topics: Creation First Line: For the fruits of all creation, thanks be to God Lyrics: 1 For the fruits of all creation,
thanks be to God;
for his gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God;
for the ploughing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth’s safekeeping,
thanks be to God.
2 In the just reward of labour,
God’s will is done;
in the help we give our neighbour,
God’s will is done;
in our worldwide task of caring
for the hungry and despairing,
in the harvests we are sharing,
God’s will is done.
3 For the harvests of the Spirit,
thanks be to God;
for the good we all inherit,
thanks be to God;
for the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
most of all, that love has found us,
thanks be to God. Scripture: Psalm 65:7-13 Languages: English Tune Title: AR HYD Y NOS
