Original text and translations

English text 1  Great Giver of all good, to Thee again We humbly now present, in joyous strain, Our Harvest-tide Thanksgiving. 2  To Thee, in whom we live and move, we come To praise Thee for the sheaves brought safely home, With Harvest-tide Thanksgiving. 3  Thou dost prepare our corn, and year by year Before Thine altar, Lord, will we appear With Harvest-tide Thanksgiving. 4  Thine was the former and the latter rain, Enriching earth, and calling forth again The Harvest-tide Thanksgiving.

5  Thou openest wide, Great God,Thy bounteous hand, And far and wide ascends from all the land Glad Harvest-tide Thanksgiving. 6  Thou fillest all that live with plenteousness; They, in return, Thy sacred name should bless In Harvest-tide Thanksgiving. 7  Thy clouds drop fatness on the teeming earth, Accept these festal songs of "reverent mirth," This Harvest-tide Thanksgiving. 8  The year is crown'd with goodness, Lord, by Thee Then meet it is that aye should offer'd be The Harvest-tide Thanksgiving.

9  On every side the little hills rejoice, On every side sounds forth the grateful voice Of Harvest-tide Thanksgiving. 10  The valleys, thick with corn, do laugh and sing Let all, who sow and reap, together bring Their Harvest-tide Thanksgiving. 11  For all the blessings, Lord, Thy mercy gave, Praise we with this best member that we have In Harvest-tide Thanksgiving. 12  To Thee, O Trinity in Unity, All glory, laud and endless homage be In Harvest-tide Thanksgiving. Amen.
