Author: Georgia Harkness Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of the fertile fields,
Lord of the earth that yields
Our daily bread,
Forth from Thy bounteous hand
Come gifts Thy love has planned,
That men through all the land
Be clothed and fed.
2 We would thy stewards be,
Holding in trust from Thee
All Thou dost give;
Help us in love to share,
Teach us like Thee to care,
That earth may all be fair,
And men may live.
3 As grows the hidden seed
To fruit that serves men’s need,
Thy Kingdom grows.
So let our toil be used,
No gift of Thine abused,
No humblest task refused,
Thy love bestows.
4 God of the countryside,
Dear to our Lord Who died
To make men one;
We pledge our lives to Thee,
To serve Thee faithfully
Till in eternity
Our day is done.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 65:9-13 Used With Tune: ITALIAN HYMN
