Johnny Appleseed

Oh, the Lord is good to me,
And so I thank the Lord,
For giving me the things I need,
The sun and the rain and the apple seed,
The Lord is good to me.

And every seed that grows
Will grow into a tree
And someday soon there'll be apples there
For everyone in the world to share
The Lord is good to me

Johnny Appleseed....

And for the blessed morning light.
For rest and food and loving care,
And all that makes the world so fair.

While we thank thee, we request,
Care and safety, pardon rest.
