Author: F. Pratt Green (born 1903) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #286 (1987) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Topics: The Creation Lyrics: 1 For the fruits of his 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 his 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. Languages: English Tune Title: EAST ACKLAM
