Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #517 (1996) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Praise God for the harvest of orchard and field Lyrics: 1 Praise God for the harvest of orchard and field,
praise God for the people who gather their yield,
the long hours of labour, the skills of a team,
the patience of science, the power of machine.
2 Praise God for the harvest that comes from afar,
from market and harbour, the sea and the shore:
foods packed and transported, and gathered and grown
by God-given neighbours, unseen and unknown.
3 Praise God for the harvest that's quarried and mined,
then sifted, and smelted, or shaped and refined:
for oil and for iron, for copper and coal,
praise God, who in love has provided them all.
4 Praise God for the harvest of science and skill,
the urge to discover, create, and fulfil:
for dreams and inventions that promise to gain
a future more hopeful, a world more humane.
5 Praise God for the harvest of mercy and love
from leaders and peoples who struggle and serve
for fairness and kindness, that all may be led
to freedom and safety, and all may be fed. Topics: The Church at Worship Special Days, Seasons, Occasions: Thanksgiving; God Creator; Praise; Thankfulness; Thanksgiving Day Languages: English Tune Title: STOWEY

His hymn texts are published in Faith Looking Forward (1983), Praising a Mystery (1986), Bring Many Names (1989), New Beginnings (1993), and Faith Renewed: 33 Hymns Reissued and Revised (1995), as well as in many modern hymnals. He has also produced What Language Shall I Borrow? (1989), a discussion guide to inclusive language in Christian worship.
