God, whose farm is all creation Hymn 131
1 God, whose farm is all creation, take the gratitude we give; take the finest of our harvest, crops we grow that men may live.
2 Take our ploughing, seeding, reaping, hopes and fears of sun and rain, all our thinking, planning, waiting, ripened in this fruit and grain.
3 All our labour, all our watching, all our calendar of care, in these crops of your creation, take, O God: they are our prayer. John Arlott 1914-
