Tune: Wir Pflugen
(\'We plough the fields and scatter\')
Psalm 104 v.10-19 and v.24
***********
The LORD, the great Creator
Blessings He does confer
On His creation, and we
His creatures sure we be
He sends springs into valleys
They made by His decrees
And midst the hills they do flow
Animals thirsts quenched so
Chorus
O LORD, how manifold
Your works! Can all be told?
In wisdom you have all them made
Your full riches displayed
Birds of heaven inhabit
Tree branches, there they set
And nests do build, and they sing
Their joyful chirpings ring
He waters hills from His store
And the earth evermore
With the fruit if His works is
Satisfied, true is this - Chorus
He causes the grass to grow
For cattle to eat so
And herbs, vegetables for
Service of man, not poor
He be, for the LORD provides
And by His will decides
That man from the earth bring food
It all unto their good - Chorus
The wine and oil and bread here
And too the trees appear
They full of sap, they planted
By men, He has them led
To replenish, conserve land
Created by His hand
Birds make nests, such as the stork
Midst nature fly and walk - Chorus
High hills are refuge for wild
Goats, rock for conies* mild (*rock badgers)
The LORD appoints moon for seasons
And sun knows its reasons
For rising and for setting
Day, night cycle, each thing
All under the LORD\'s hand be
And all for His glory - Chorus
