God only is the Maker of all things near and far;

He paints the wayside flower, He 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.

Refrain

All good gifts around us are sent from Heav’n above,

Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord, for all His love.

We thank Thee then, O 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,

We sing to Thee with praises from humble, thankful hearts.

Refrain

We see the fields abounding with sheaves of ripened grain,

For God prepared the harvest in judgment then He came,

To rule the earth around us, as King Christ reigns supreme,

And He has sent His reapers, His fields for them to glean.

Refrain

Prepare us then, O Father, to dwell with Thee above,

That we may live and serve Thee forever in Thy love,

Watch over us protect all Thy sheep from going astray,

And lead and guide and bless us along our homeward way.

Refrain
