Earth below is teem­ing,
Heav’n is bright ab­ove,
Every brow is beam­ing
In the light of love:
Every eye re­joic­es,
Every thought is praise,
Happy hearts and voices
Gladden nights and days;

Refrain

O al­migh­ty Giver,
Beautiful and free!
As the joy in har­vest
Joy we be­fore Thee!

Every youth and maiden
On the harvest plain,
Round the wagons laden
With their golden grain,
Swell the happy chorus
On the evening air,
Unto Him who o’er us
Bends with constant care:

Refrain

For the sun and show­ers
For the rain and dew,
For the hap­py hours
Spring and sum­mer knew:
For the gold­en au­tumn
And its pre­cious stores,
For the love that brought them
Teeming to our doors:

Refrain

Earth’s broad har­vest whit­ens
In a bright­er sun,
Than the orb that light­ens
All we tread u­pon;
Send out la­bor­ers, Fa­ther!
Where fields rip­en­ing wave;
And the na­tions ga­ther,
Gather in and save.

Refrain
