Harvest

With grateful thanks We receive the bounty of this earth. Giver of plenty, You are the source of Plants and meat, Milk and herbs, Clean water and safe homes. Bless this harvest, Its beautiful colors. Bless this bounty, Its nourishing substance. Bless the livestock And those who keep them. Bless the farmers, the workers, The gleaners, far and near. Bless the hungry, Those who have no homes, Those displaced by drought or violence. Give succor to the people in their need. Bless
