562- Come Sing A Song of Harvest
Christian Life: Thankfulness
1
- Come, sing a song of harvest,
- Of thanks for daily food!
- To offer God the first fruits
- Is old as gratitude.
2
- Long, long ago, the reapers,
- Before they kept the feast,
- Put firstfruits in a basket,
- And took it to the priest.
3
- Shall we, sometimes forgetful
- Of where creation starts,
- With science in our pockets
- Lose wonder from our hearts?
4
- May God, the great creator,
- To whom all life belongs,
- Accept this gifts we offer,
- Our service and our songs.
5
- And lest the world go hungry
- While ourselves are fed,
- Make each of us more ready
- To share our daily bread.
