all things come of Thee

look at the world, everything all around us
look at the world, and marvel every day
look a the world: so many joys and wonders
so many miracles along our way

praise to thee, O Lord, for all creation
give us thankful hearts that we may see
all thy gifts we share, and every blessing
all things come of thee

look at the earth, bringing forth fruit and flower
look at the sky, the sunshine and the rain
look at the hills, look at the trees and mountains
valley and flowing river, field and plain

praise to thee, O Lord, for all creation
give us thankful hearts that we may see
all thy gifts we share, and every blessing
all things come of thee

think of the spring, think of the warmth of summer
bringing the harvest before the winter's cold
everything grows, everything has a season
till it is gathered to the Father's fold

praise to thee, O Lord, for all creation
give us thankful hearts that we may see
all thy gifts we share, and every blessing
all things come of thee

every good gift, all that we need and cherish
comes from the Lord in token of his love
we are his hands, stewards of all his bounty
his is the earth and his the heavens above

praise to thee, O Lord, for all creation
give us thankful hearts that we may see
all thy gifts we share, and every blessing
all things come of thee
