All Good Gifts
Schwartz, arr. Leavitt
Chancel Choir; Diana Dunn, oboe; Sarah Paul, cello
We plow 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 heaven above, so thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all His love. We thank Thee, then oh Father, for all things bright and good, the seed time and the harvest, our lives, our health, our food. No gifts have we to offer for all Thy love imparts, but that which Thou desirest, our humble, thankful, hearts. I really want to thank You, Lord.
