The Country Faith

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!
