Come, sing a song of harvest, Of thanks for daily food!

by Fred Pratt Green (1903–)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 562.

Verse 1

Come, sing a song of harvest, Of thanks for daily food! To offer God the first-fruits is old as gratitude.

Verse 2

Long, long ago, the reapers, before they kept the feast, Put first-fruits in a basket, and took it to the priest.

Verse 3

Shall we, sometimes forgetful oh where creation starts, With science in our pockets lose wonder from our hearts?

Verse 4

May God, the great Creator, to whom all life belongs, Accept these gifts we offer, our service and our songs.

Verse 5

And lest the world go hungry while we ourselves are fed, Make each of us more ready to share our daily bread.
