Here in the country’s heart Where the grass is green, Life is the same sweet life As it e’er hath been. Trust in a God still lives, And the bell at morn Floats with a thought of God O’er the rising corn. God comes down in the rain, And the crop grows tall— This is the country faith, And the best of all!
