LyicsThe God of harvest praise;
In loud thanksgiving raise
Hand, heart, and boice;
The valleys smile and sing,
Forests and mountains ring,
The plains their tribute bring,
The streams rejoice.
Yea, bless his holy name,
And purest thanks proclaim,
Through all the earth;
To glory in your lot
Is duty - but be not
God's benefits forgot,
Amidst your mirth.
The God of harvest praise;
Hands, hearts, and voices raise,
With sweet accord:
From field to garner throng,
Bearing your sheaves along,
And in your harvest song
Bless ye the Lord.
