Be Thankful For The Sunshine and the Rain
The sunshine and the rain what do we think?
moans upon moans about too hot or too wet
but we need them both in their due time
for the crops to grow as all the seasons are set
Early in the morning, there's dew on the grass
as well as showers spread on the ground
so fresh and fine leaving a real impression
looking on you hear such a divine sound
Brightness flows from this coloured seed
yellow springs forth full of radiant colour
little specks show such a ripened effect
what a picture to convey to one another
Look at your time on the stroke
the golden harvest has come of age
so much here to be thankful for
bring your hands together to fully engage
Considering all that's been received
it's so correct to bless your God no less
for everything we have comes from our creator
may we all give to our God full access to bless
(Verse from a hymn)
'For the sunshine and the rain,
for the dew and for the shower,
for the yellow ripened grain,
and the golden harvest hour,
We bless thee O our God'
- Mrs Jane Crewdson ( 1809-1863)
