	1. 0 Lord, whose bounteous hand again
	Hath poured Thy gifts in plenty down,
	Who all, creation dost sustain
	And all the earth with goodness crown,
	Lord of the harvest, here we own
	Our joy to be Thy gift alone.
	
	2. Oh, may we ne'er with thankless heart
	Forget from whom our blessings flow!
	Still, Lord, Thy heavenly.grace impart;
	Still teach us what to Thee we owe.
	Lord, may our lives with fruit divine
	Return Thy care and prove us Thine.
	
	3. Lord, grant that we who sow to Thee
	With joy in endless life may reap.
	Of every heart the Guardian be;
	By day and night Thy servants keep
	That all to Thee may joy afford
	On Thy great harvest-day, 0 Lord.
