Laden with fruit, and dressed in flowers.

3The desert grows a fruitful field;

Abundant food the valleys yield;

The valleys shout with cheerful voice,

And neighboring hills repeat their joys.

4Thy works pronounce thy power divine;

O'er every field thy glories shine;

Through every month thy gifts appear:

Great God! thy goodness crowns the year.

858. C. M. Fergus.
