As Men of Old Their First-Fruits Brought

Author: Frank von Christierson Hymnal: WinS1996 #41 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 As those of old their first-fruits brought Of orchard, flock, and field To God, the giver of all good, The source of bounteous yield; So we today first-fruits would bring, The wealth of this good land, Of farm and market, shop and home, Of mind and heart and hand. 2 A world in need now summons us To labor, love, and give; To make our life an offering To God, that man may live; The church of Christ is calling us To make the dream come true: A world redeemed by Christ-like love, All life in Christ made new. 3 In gratitude and humble trust We bring our best today, To serve your cause and share your love With all along life’s way. O God, who gave yourself to us In Christ, your only Son, Teach us to give ourselves each day Until life's work is done.

Heap High the Farmer's Wintry Hoard

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: WinS1996 #43 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Heap high the farmer's wintry hoard! Lyrics: 1 Heap high the farmer's wintry hoard! Heap high the golden corn! No richer gift has autumn poured from out her lavish horn! Through vales of grass and meads of flowers our plows their furrows made, While on the hills the sun and showers of changeful April played. 2 We dropped the seed over hill and plain beneath the sun of May, And frightened from our sprouting grain the robber crows away. All through the long, bright days of June its leaves grew green and fair, And waved in hot midsummer's noon its soft and yellow hair. 3 And now with autumn's moonlit eyes, It's harvest-time has come, We pluck away the frosted leaves, and bear the treasure home. Oh let the good old crop adorn the hills our fathers (forbears) trod; Still let us, for his (this) golden corn, send up our thanks to God!
