‘thou blessest the earth
Language: English
‘thou blessest the earth thou crownest the year the valleys shall stand so thick with corn that they shall laugh and sing’. A reading from the psalms precedes the music, and occurs again at the centre; the reader may be drawn from the choir or, in a liturgical context, from one of the clergy.
