English Lyrics
Verse 1
Come, sing a song of harvest, Of thanks for daily food! To offer God the firstfruits Is old as gratitude.
Verse 2
Long, long ago, the reapers, Before they kept the feast, Put firstfruits in a basket, And took it to the priest.
Verse 3
Shall we, sometimes forgetful Of where creation starts, With science in our pockets Lose wonder from our hearts?
Verse 4
May God, the great Creator, To whom all life belongs, Accept these gifts we offer, Our service and our songs.
Verse 5
And lest the world go hungry While we ourselves are fed, Make each of us more ready To share our daily bread.
