God of the Fertile Fields

Author: Georgia Harkness Hymnal: CGH2010 #668 (2010) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Tune Title: AMERICA First Line: God of the fertile fields Lyrics: 1 God of the fertile fields, shaper of earth that yields our daily bread: forth from Your bounteous hand come gifts Your love has planned, that all in every land be clothed and fed. 2 We would be stewards true, holding in trust from You all that You give; help us in love to share, teach us like You to care for people everywhere, that all may live. 3 As grows the hidden seed to fruit that serves our need, Your reign yet grows. So let our toil be used, no gift of Yours abused, no humble task refused Your love bestows. 4 God of the countryside, dear to the Christ who died to make us one: we pledge our lives anew in faithful love to You; guide all we say and do, till life is done.

For His gifts to every nation, thanks be to God.

In the help we give our neighbor, God's will is done. In our world-wide task of caring for the hungry and despairing, in the harvests we are sharing, God's will is done. 3 For the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God. For the good we all 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.
