R (Lk 8:8) The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest.
You have visited the land and watered it;
greatly have you enriched it.
God’s watercourses are filled;
you have prepared the grain. R
Thus have you prepared the land: drenching
its furrows,
breaking up its clods,
softening it with showers,
blessing its yield. R
You have crowned the year with your bounty,
and your paths overflow with a rich harvest;
the untilled meadows overflow with it,
and rejoicing clothes the hills. R
The fields are garmented with flocks
and the valleys blanketed with grain.
They shout and sing for joy. R
- Creation awaits the revelation of the children of God. l
