1. Praise and thanksgiving,
Father, we offer,
For all things living,
All that is good.
Harvest of sown fields,
Fruits of the factory,
Fish from the blown seas,
Metals and wood.

2. Lord, bless the labor
We bring to serve you,
That with our neighbor
All shall be fed.
Sowing or tilling,
As we work with you,
Harvesting, milling,
For daily bread.

3. Father, providing
Food for your children,
Your wisdom guiding,
Teach us to share.
One with another,
Sisters and brothers,
So that all others
May know your care.

4. Then will your blessing
Reach every person,
Freely confessing
Your precious love.
Where you are reigning
No one will hunger,
Your love sustaining,
Fruitful the land.
