TIME TO GATHER THE HARVEST

Golden orchard meadows
Farmers plough their fields
Pray to God for healthy crops
For all that autumn supplies.
Barley, wheat and corn -
gives us our daily bread.
The harvest that is gathered
feeds those in greater need.
The vine is done, the fruits fall
Get the baskets ready to fill
For yummy jams and chutneys
That feed hungry tummies.
A harvest moon shines bright
Nights grow darker earlier
Autumn fires begin to be lit
We gather for an autumn supper.
God, we thank you for the harvest
For the labourers who gather the crops
The provisions upon our plate
Plentiful harvest enough for everyone.
