The God of harvest praise. 

 The God that rules above ; 

 In loud thanksgiving raise 

 The grateful song of love. 

 To Him whose hand directs our way, 

 "Whose mercies cro-rni each shiuinj

 And gives his children bread ; 

 The songsters of the air 

 Are by his bounty fed. 

 lie hears the ravens when they cry, 

 And fi-om His fulness doth sup- 

 ply.
