Grace for Gardens

Lord God in Paradise, Look upon our sowing, Bless the little gardens And the good green growing! Give us sun, Give us rain, Bless the orchards And the grain! Lord God in Paradise, Please bless the beans and peas, Give us corn full on the ear⁠— We will praise Thee, Lord, for these! Bless the blossom And the root, Bless the seed And the fruit! Lord God in Paradise, Over my brown field is seen, Trembling and adventuring, A miracle of green. Send such grace As you know, To keep it safe And make it grow! Lord God in Paradise, For the wonder of the seed, Wondering, we praise you, while We tell you of our need. Look down from Paradise, Look upon our sowing, Bless the little gardens And the good green growing! Give us sun, Give us rain, Bless the orchards And the grain!
