Analysis of Awesome Blessings
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
You visit earth and water it,
You enrich it with the river;
Providing grain with Your merit,
To harvest crops to deliver.
You water furrows profusely,
Softening the ground with showers;
Growing the crops abundantly,
Rainfall comes and goes for hours.
You crown the year with quality,
As paths overflow with fatness;
Ripened to the ability,
For giving us such a wellness.
The overflowing of the pasture,
Little hills rejoice on every side;
A masterpiece for a picture,
That the view that it does provide.
The meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
The valley decks itself with grain;
Having a joyous song as one talks,
As the corn is covered with rain.
