Opening Hymn "The Harvest, The Bounty"  

1. The harvest, the bounty, the earth's very glow,
From God the Creator, all blessings do flow,
Most Blessed, Most Glorious, the Giver of all,
We thank You, the Maker, Your name we do call.

2. The spring and the fall, they are gifts from above,
In sowing and reaping, we find Your true love,
The land is alive and upon it we toil,
We thank You, dear Lord, for the gift of the soil.

3. You give to Your people, the life we all have,
Bright light of our God shines, a guide for our paths,
We blossom, then wither, like leaves on the tree,
The promise, eternal, grace given for free.

4. Thanksgiving, we sing out our praises to You,
Provider, Sustainer, of all that we do,
With wonder and glory, creation does show,
The harvest, the bounty, the earth's very glow.
