Harvest Hopes

Tune: Wir Pflugen

(\'We plough the fields and scatter\')

Psalm 65 v.6-13

*********

By your strength, You Lord, do set

The mountains for they yet

Do stand, they girded with power

Even unto this hour

You, Lord, quieten noise of seas

And give to waves reprieves

And cause tumult of people

To cease, bring peace to all

 

Chorus

You crown the year with your

Goodness, it endures sure

Your paths and ways abundantly

Yield prosperously

 

The people stand in awe, you

Do show them your signs true

You make each morning, evening

To be joyful and sing

You visit the earth, give rain

So it refreshed again

The rive of God be full

Enough supply for all - Chorus

 

You give grain, food for man\'s need

We give you thanks indeed

You bless the land, and growth give

Sustaining us to live

Showers in wilderness too

For dry places the dew

All nature thus rejoicing

Glory to you does bring - Chorus

 

The pastures are with sheep clothed

By your good hand bestowed

The valleys also covered be

With corn springing freely

It is as if they shout, sing

Their melodies do ring

For yet another harvest

That you Lord God have blest - Chorus
