For the Fruits of His Creation

1For the fruits of His creation,
thanks be to God;
For the gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God;
For the plowing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while men are sleeping,
Future needs in earth's safekeeping,
thanks be to God!

2In the just reward of labor,
God's will is done;
In the help we give our neighbor,
God's will is done;
In our worldwide task of caring
for the hungry and despairing,
In the harvests men are sharing,
God's will is done.

3For the harvests of His Spirit,
thanks be to God;
For the good men may inherit,
thanks be to God;
For the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
Most of all, that love has found us,
thanks be to God!
