The Holy Harvest

We prepared the soil and we sow the seeds

We cultivate the garden and cut down all the weeds

We water the tender shoots and god gives the increase

And when we harvest to good fruit let the rejoicing never cease!

And the harvest is ready and white are the fields

Letís gather the good grain the latter rain yields

For from the good soil is the bounty released

So gather the harvest and prepare for the feast!

The holy harvester gathers his gain

For he raised the crop and he sent the rain

He sends the seasons and gathers his grain

For his is the harvest and he never reaps in vain.

And the harvest is ready and white are the fields

Letís gather the good grain the latter rain yields

For from the good soil is the bounty released

So gather the harvest and prepare for the feast!
