6503. To Bless the Earth, God Sendeth

1. To bless the earth, God sendeth
From His abundant store
The waters of the springtime,
Enriching it once more.
The seed by Him provided
Is sown o’er hill and plain,
And with the gentle showers
Doth bless the springing grain.

2. The year with good He crownest,
The earth His mercy fills,
The wilderness is fruitful,
And joyful are the hills;
With corn the vales are covered,
The flocks in pastures graze;
All nature joins in singing
A joyful song of praise.
