We Plow the Fields and Scatter
Author: Matthais Clauduis; Jane Montgomery Campbell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 453 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 Refrain First Line: All good gifts around us Lyrics: 1 We plow the fields and scatter
the good seed on the land,
but it is fed and watered
by God's almighty hand.
He sends the snow in winter,
the warmth to swell the grain,
the breezes and the sunshine,
and soft refreshing rain.
Refrain:
All good gifts around us are sent from heaven
above;
then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all
his love.
2 He only is the maker
of all things near and far;
he paints the wayside flower,
he lights the evening star.
The wind and waves obey him,
by him the birds are fed;
much more to us, his children,
he gives our daily bread. Refrain
3 We thank you, our Creator,
for all things bright and good:
the seedtime and the harvest,
our life, our health, our food.
Accept the gifts we offer
for all your love imparts;
accept what you most welcome:
our humble, thankful hearts! Refrain

My Soul, Bless the Lord!
Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 First Line: My soul, bless the Lord! The Lord is most great Lyrics: 1 My soul, bless the Lord! The Lord is most great,
with glory arrayed, majestic his state;
the light is his garment, the skies are his shade,
and over the waters his courts he has laid.
2 He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm,
the lightning and wind his mission perform;
the earth he has founded her station to keep,
and wrapped as a vesture about her the deep.
3 He waters the hills with rain from the skies,
and plentiful grass and herbs he supplies,
supplying the cattle, and blessing man's toil
with bread in abundance, with wine and with oil.
4 The trees which the Lord has planted are fed,
and over the earth their branches are spread;
they keep in their shelter the birds of the air,
the life of each creature the Lord makes his care.
5 Your Spirit, O Lord, makes life to abound,
the earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground;
to God ascribe glory and wisdom and might,
let God in his creatures forever delight.
6 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet,
while sinners depart in ruin complete;
my soul, bless Jehovah, his name be adored,
come, praise him, you people, and worship the Lord.

Psalm 104: Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 First Line: Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God Lyrics:
1Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God,
thou art exceeding great;
With honour and with majesty
thou clothed art in state.
2With light, as with a robe, thyself
thou coverest about;
And, like unto a curtain, thou
the heavens stretchest out.
3Who of his chambers doth the beams
within the waters lay;
Who doth the clouds his chariot make,
on wings of wind make way.
4Who flaming fire his ministers,
his angels sp’rits, doth make:
5Who earth’s foundations did lay,
that it should never shake.
6Thou didst it cover with the deep,
as with a garment spread:
The waters stood above the hills,
when thou the word but said.
7But at the voice of thy rebuke
they fled, and would not stay;
They at thy thunder’s dreadful voice
did haste them fast away.
8They by the mountains do ascend,
and by the valley-ground
Descend, unto that very place
which thou for them didst found.
9Thou hast a bound unto them set,
that they may not pass over,
That they do not return again
the face of earth to cover.
10He to the valleys sends the springs,
which run among the hills:
11They to all beasts of field give drink,
wild asses drink their fills.
12By them the fowls of heav’n shall have
their habitation,
Which do among the branches sing
with delectation.
13He from his chambers watereth
the hills, when they are dry’d:
With fruit and increase of thy works
the earth is satisfy’d.
14For cattle he makes grass to grow,
he makes the herb to spring
For th’ use of man, that food to him
he from the earth may bring;
15And wine, that to the heart of man
doth cheerfulness impart,
Oil that his face makes shine, and bread
that strengtheneth his heart.
16The trees of God are full of sap;
the cedars that do stand
In Lebanon, which planted were
by his almighty hand.
17Birds of the air upon their boughs
do chuse their nests to make;
As for the stork, the fir-tree she
doth for her dwelling take.
18The lofty mountains for wild goats
a place of refuge be;
The conies also to the rocks
do for their safety flee.
19He sets the moon in heav’n, thereby
the seasons to discern:
From him the sun his certain time
of going down doth learn.
20Thou darkness mak’st, ‘tis night, then beasts
of forests creep abroad.
21The lions young roar for their prey,
and seek their meat from God.
22The sun doth rise, and home they flock,
down in their dens they lie.
23Man goes to work, his labour he
doth to the ev’ning ply.
24How manifold, Lord, are thy works!
in wisdom wonderful
Thou ev’ry one of them hast made;
earth’s of thy riches full:
25So is this great and spacious sea,
wherein things creeping are,
Which number’d cannot be; and beasts
both great and small are there.
26There ships go; there thou mak’st to play
that leviathan great.
27These all wait on thee, that thou may’st
in due time give them meat.
28That which thou givest unto them
they gather for their food;
Thine hand thou open’st lib’rally,
they filled are with good.
29Thou hid’st thy face; they troubled are,
their breath thou tak’st away;
Then do they die, and to their dust
return again do they.
30Thy quick’ning spirit thou send’st forth,
then they created be;
And then the earth’s decayed face
renewed is by thee.
31The glory of the mighty Lord
continue shall for ever:
The Lord Jehovah shall rejoice
in all his works together.
32Earth, as affrighted, trembleth all,
if he on it but look;
And if the mountains he but touch,
they presently do smoke.
33I will sing to the Lord most high,
so long as I shall live;
And while I being have I shall
to my God praises give.
34Of him my meditation shall
sweet thoughts to me afford;
And as for me, I will rejoice
in God, my only Lord.
35From earth let sinners be consum’d,
let ill men no more be.
O thou my soul, bless thou the Lord.
Praise to the Lord give ye.
Psalm 104: Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God
Your Spirit, O LORD, Makes Life to Abound
Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 104 Lyrics: 1 Your Spirit, O LORD, makes life to abound.
The earth is renewed, and fruitful the ground.
To God be all glory and wisdom and might.
May God in his creatures forever delight.
2 My soul, praise the LORD! The LORD is most great,
with glory arrayed, majestic in state.
The light is his garment, the skies form a tent,
and over the waters his couriers are sent.
3 He rides on the clouds and wings of the storm.
The lightning and wind his mission perform.
Foundations of earth he forever has stayed;
to cover it, oceans like garments were laid.
4 On mountains and plains the dark waters lay.
They heard his rebuke and hurried away.
He lifted the mountains, to valleys gave birth,
set boundaries for seas that once covered the earth. Repeat stanza 1
5 God causes the springs of water to flow
in streams from the hills to valleys below.
The LORD gives the streams for all living things there,
while birds with their singing enrapture the air.
6 Down mountains and hills your showers are sent.
With fruit of your work the earth is content.
You give grass for cattle and food for our toil,
enriching our labors with bread, wine, and oil.
7 The trees that the LORD has planted are fed,
and over the earth their branches are spread.
They keep in their shelter the birds of the air.
The life of each creature God keeps in his care. Repeat stanza 1
8 The seasons are fixed by wisdom divine.
The slow-changing moon shows forth God's design.
The sun in its circuit its Maker obeys
and, running its journey, hastes not nor delays.
9 The LORD makes the night, when, leaving their lair,
the lions go forth, God's bounty to share.
The LORD makes the morning, when beasts steal away,
when we are beginning the work of the day.
10 How many and wise the works of the LORD!
The earth with its wealth of creatures is stored.
The sea bears in safety the ships to and fro;
Leviathan plays in the waters below.
11 Your creatures all look to you for their food.
Your hand opens wide, they gather the good.
When you hide your face, LORD, in anguish they yearn;
when you stop their breathing, to dust they return. Repeat stanza 1
12 Before the LORD's might earth trembles and quakes.
The mountains are rent, and smoke from them breaks.
I promise to worship the LORD all my days.
Yes, while I have being, my God I will praise.
13 Rejoicing in God, my thought shall be sweet.
May sinners depart in ruin complete.
My soul, praise the LORD God his name be adored.
Come, praise him, all people, and worship the LORD.
