Harvest (Earth below is teeming)

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;
O Almighty Giver,
Bountiful and free!
As the joy in harvest
Joy we before Thee!

Every youth and maiden
On the harvest plain.
Round the waggons laden
With their golden grain,
Swell the happy chorus
On the evening air,
Unto Him who o er us
Bends with constant care:
O Almighty Giver,
Bountiful and free!
As the joy in harvest
Joy they before Thee!

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:
Almighty Giver,
Bountiful and free!
As the joy in harvest
Joy we before Thee!

Earth's broad harvest whitens
In a brighter Sun,
Than the orb that lightens
All we tread upon;
Send out laborers. Father!
Where fields rip'ning wave,
And the nations gather.
Gather in and save.
O Almighty Giver,
Bountiful and free!
Then as joy in harvest
We shall joy in Thee!
