BLESSINGS OF GOD

God made the milk to beCreamy and sweet,For all of His childrenTo drink and to eat.To make all His frail onesGrow happy and strong,Give them the precious milkSweet as a song.God made the golden corn,God made the wheat,For bread and for puddings;Rich plenty to eat.The rice and the barley,The rye and the oats;O let us thank HimIn happier notes!God made the fruits to growLuscious and sweet,For all His dear childrenTo drink and to eat.Never ferment them;For then from the rotSprings forth the poison!Taste of it not!Fresh from the fruit bottlesSeal it away;Sink it in waters cold;Hide it in clay.There ’twill keep fresh and sweet,Harmless as new.Harmless as ripened grapesSparkling with dew.
