Thank for the Harvest
It's almost over, this garden year,
It has given us rich with a good harvest.
You, Lord, gave us strength to work
and always rain in the drought.
Your light has guided us intuition for intuition.
You let sprout the grass in the meadows,
we cut it to mash the fields;
that prevented a lot of weeds
and keeps the plantlets from drying up.
The flowers attracted the insects for pollination.
Wind blows caress all kinds,
told them the laws of growth and prosperity.
They did not resist that, so they are grown well.
To maturity came berries, fruits, tubers, roots,
herbs, flowers, leaves, seeds.
The table is now covered
and offers a colorful picture
of all the delicacies.
So the trouble found its reward.
Even if the garden is covered by white snow
we still will enjoy his noble gifts.
We can sing a song of praise
to the
Father of these gifts, who created them all,It has given us rich with a good harvest.

He wants us to strive to maintain that harmony,
which he deposited for us out of love,
so that later on it would be well for all people.
