“We Plough the Fields, and Scatter”

The hymn acknowledges that while humans play a role in farming and producing food, the ultimate source of all blessings is God. The repeated refrain, "He only is the Maker of all things near and far," emphasizes that the harvest is a gift from God, and the natural world is under His care.

The hymn is based on a German poem titled “Wir pflügen und wir streuen,” which was written by Matthias Claudius (1740-1815), a German poet and journalist. The poem first appeared in 1782 as part of a larger work, “Paul Erdmann’s Fest,” which was a fictional account of a harvest festival.
