The Choir of St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedral and Norwich Cathedral Choir - We Plough the Fields and Scatter

We plough the fields and scatter
The good seed on the land
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand

He sends the snow in winter
The warmth to swell the grain
The breezes and the sunshine
And soft refreshing rain

All good gifts around us
Are sent from Heav'n above
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
For all his love

He only is the Maker
Of all things near and far
He paints the wayside flower
He lights the evening star

The winds and waves obey him
By him the birds are fed
Much more to us, his children
He gives our daily bread

All good gifts around us
Are sent from Heav'n above
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
For all his love

We thank you, then, O Father
For all things bright and good
The seed-time and the harvest
Our life, our health, our food

Accept the gifts we offer
For all thy love imparts,
And what Thou most desirest
Our humble, thankful hearts

All good gifts around us
Are sent from Heav'n above
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
For all his love
