We plough the fields, and scatter
the good seed on our lands,
but nations who are deep in debt
are left with empty hands.
The world is full of people
who struggle to survive,
while we have food in plenty -
O God, our care revive!

All good gifts around us
are sent for all to share;
we ask you, Lord, to help us strive
for justice everywhere.

The fields of many countries
are tilled to pay their debt,
and so disease and poverty
remain a constant threat.
Their goods, unfairly traded,
make losses for our gain,
as most of all the profits
in wealthy hands remain.
