For the fruits of His creation, thanks be to God;
For
the gifts to every nation, thanks be to God;
For
the plowing, sowing, reaping,
Silent
growth while men are sleeping,
Future
needs in earth's safe keeping, thanks be to God!

In
the just reward of labor, God's will be done;
In
the help we give our neighbor, God's will be done;
In
our worldwide task of caring
For
the hungry and despairing,
In
the harvests men are sharing, God's will is done.

For
the harvests of His Spirit, thanks be to God;
For
the good all men inherit, thanks be to God;
For
the wonders that astound us,
For
the truths that still confound us,
Most
of all, that love has found us, thanks be to God!
