English poem
The God Of Harvest Praise.
by Hezekiah Butterworth (1839–1905)
Written by James Montgomery in 1840, and published in the Evangelical Magazine as the Harvest Hymn for that year.
The God of harvest praise; In loud thanksgiving raise Heart, hand and voice. The valleys smile and sing, Forests and mountains sing, The plains their tribute bring, The streams rejoice.

The God of harvest praise; Hearts, hands and voices raise With sweet accord; From field to garner throng, Bearing your sheaves along, And in your harvest song Bless ye the Lord.
Tune, "Dort"--Lowell Mason.
