O Lord, Whose Bounteous Hand Again

lyricist: Author unknown
Composer: Strassburg, 1541

O Lord

whose boun­te­ous hand again

Hath poured Thy gifts in plen­ty down

Who all cre­ation dost sus­tain

And all the earth with good­ness crown

Lord of the har­vest

here we own

Our joy to be Thy gift alone.

Oh

may we ne’er with thank­less heart

Forget from whom our bless­ings flow!

Still

Lord

Thy heav’n­ly grace im­part;

Still teach us what to Thee we owe.

Lord

may our lives with fruit di­vine

Return Thy care and prove us Thine.

Lord

grant that we who sow to Thee

With joy in end­less life may reap.

Of ev­ery heart the Guard­ian be;

By day and night Thy ser­vants keep

That all to Thee may joy af­ford

On Thy great har­vest-day

O Lord.
