Bless Our Family Farm
O Lord, please bless this land we farm,
our buildings, home, and all the rest.
Protect the seed we plant in spring,
and send the rain to do its best.
Give us the wisdom to tend your land,
and do our best and what we know.
Please help the seeds we planted,
to multiply and grow.
Command your elements to be kind,
and guard our crops out in the field.
Bless our farm at harvest time,
and fill our bins with a grateful yield.
We thank you for these special gifts,
you’ve granted through the year.
But most of all, we thank you, Lord,
for our family close and dear.
