#689: Praise and Thanksgiving
This is a harvest-themed text so it makes sense that it would be in this section, there are several others about returning the fruits of our labors to God, but it is kind of amusing that its title is basically the name of another (albeit very long) section.
Edge case of Jesus=Proper Nouns; we get capital "Wisdom" following shortly after "Father." In this context it's probably a reference to the personification of Wisdom as a woman seen in Proverbs, who is sometimes equated with the Holy Spirit, but it's pretty surprising to see that without anything else like Son, Lord, Light, etc. referencing Jesus.
A lot of feminine rhymes that are masculine ones in disguise (it's this melody), but we get some originality with "sown fields/mown fields," "tilling/milling."
