Sing to the Lord of harvest

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-1875 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest, sing songs of love and praise; with joyful hearts and voices your hallelujahs raise. By him the rolling seasons in fruitful order move; sing to the Lord of harvest a happy song of love. 2 By him the clouds drop fatness, the deserts bloom and spring, the hills leap up in gladness, the valleys laugh and sing. He filleth with his fullness, all things with large increase, he crowns the year with goodness, with plenty and with peace. 3 Bring now in glad thanksgiving the gifts his goodness gave, the golden sheaves of harvest, the souls he died to save. Your hearts lay down before him when at his feet you fall, and with your lives adore him who gave his life for all. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Harvest Used With Tune: PEARSALL

The world is very evil

Author: St. Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 121 hymnals Lyrics: The world is very evil; The times are waxing late: Be sober and keep vigil; The Judge is at the gate: The Judge who comes in mercy, The Judge who comes with might, To terminate the evil, To diadem the right. Arise, arise, good Christian, Let right to wrong succeed; Let penitential sorrow To heavenly gladness lead: To the home of fadeless splendour, Of flowers that bear no thorn, Where they shall dwell as children, Who here as exiles mourn; 'Mid power that knows no limit, And wisdom free from bound, Where rests a peace untroubled, Peace holy and profound, O happy, holy portion, Refection for the blest, True vision of true beauty, Sweet cure for all distrest! Thou hast no shore, fair ocean! Thou hast no time, bright day! Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! Strive, man, to win that glory; Toil, man, to gain that light; Send hope before to grasp it, Till hope be lost in sight. O sweet and blessèd country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

Jerusalem, the Glorious

Author: J. M. Neale; Bernard of Cluny Appears in 72 hymnals First Line: Jerusalem the glorious! Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the glorious! The glory of th’elect! O dear and future vision That eager hearts expect; E’en now by faith I see thee: E’en here thy walls discern; To thee my thoughts are kindled, And strive, and pant, and yearn. 2 Oh, none can tell thy bulwarks, How gloriously they rise; Oh, none can tell thy capitals Of beautiful device; Thy loveliness oppresses All human thought and heart; And none, O Peace, O Zion, Can sing thee as thou art. 3 Jerusalem, exulting On that securest shore, I hope thee, wish thee, sing thee, And love thee evermore! O sweet and blessed country, Shall I ever see thy face? O sweet and blessed country, Shall I ever win thy grace? 4 I have the hope within me To comfort and to bless! Shall I ever win the prize itself? O tell me, tell me, yes! Exult, O dust and ashes! The Lord shall be thy part; His only, His forever, Thou shalt be, and thou art!
