For the Fruits of His Creation
Verse 1
For the fruits of His creation, thanks be to God;
For the gifts to every nation, thanks be to god;

Verse 2
In the just reward of labor, God’s will is done;
In the help we give our neighbor, God’s will is done;
In our world-wide task of caring
For the hungry and despairing,
In the harvests men are sharing, God’s will is done.

For the harvests of His Spirit, thanks be to God;
For the good all men 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!
