Come, You Thankful People, Come

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 722 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:41-43 Lyrics: 1 Come, you thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home; all is safely gathered in ere the winter storms begin; God, our Maker, does provide for our needs to be supplied; come, with all his people come, raise the song of harvest home. 2 All the world is God's own field, fruit unto his praise to yield; wheat and weeds together sown, unto joy or sorrow grown: first the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear; Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For the Lord our God shall come and shall take his harvest home; he himself in that great day all offense shall take away, give his angels charge at last in the fire the weeds to cast, but the fruitful ears to store in his garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come to your final harvest home; gather all your people in, free from sorrow, free from sin there, forever purified, in your presence to abide; come, with all your angels come, raise the glorious harvest home.

Hymn 10

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 710 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:16-17 First Line: How beauteous are their feet Lyrics: How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal! How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Savior King; He reigns and triumphs here." How happy are our ears That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! How blessed are our eyes That see this heav'nly light Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. The Lord makes bare his arm Through all the earth abroad; Let every nation now behold Their Savior and their God!

Jesus, in thee, in thee alone, Wealth, honor, pleasure meet. 4 Should both the Indies at my call, Their boasted stores resign, With joy I would renounce them all For leave to call thee mine. 5 Should earth's vain treasures all depart, Of this dear gift possess'd; I'd clasp it to my joyful heart, And be for ever bless'd. 6 Dear sov'reign of my soul's desires, Thy love is bliss divine; Accept the wish that love inspires, And bid me call thee mine.
