all good gifts

from the motion "Godspell"

we plow the fields and scatter
the good seed on the land,
but it is fed and watered
by God's almighty hand.
he sends us snow in winter,
the warmth to swell the grain,
the breezes and the sunshine,
and soft refreshing rain.

all good gifts around us
are sent from Heaven above.
so thank the Lord, oh!
thank the Lord for all his love.

we thank thee then, oh! Father,
for all things bright and good,
the seedtime and the harvest,
our life, our health, our food.
no gifts have we to offer
for all thy love imparts,
but that which thou desirest,
our humble thankful hearts!

all good gifts around us
are sent from Heaven above.
so thank the Lord, oh!
thank the Lord for all his love.
