YOU CROWN THE YEAR WITH GOODNESS

Help us, Lord, to observe Your hand of blessing;

You are involved personally in every undertaking.

The preparation of the ground for sowing;

The provision of rain for important nurturing.

 

You watch over Your creation with greatest care;

Among the hills, the fields, the trees… You are there!

Everything abounds because of Your blessing;

It is right that we should be constantly rejoicing.

 

Each year is crowned with blessings from You;

How our eyes need to see that this is true!

But we are sometimes so very blind;

We fail to see that You have been kind.

 

Give us eyes to see Your mighty hand;

And help us appreciate Your divine plan.

Give us hearts that know how to appreciate;

To sing praise to You, may we never hesitate!
