Praise God for the harvest of farm and of field

Author: Brian Wren (born 1936) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #288 (1987) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: God's World Land, Sea, and Harvest Lyrics: 1 Praise God for the harvest of farm and of field, praise God for the people who gather their yield, the long hours of labour, the skills of a team, the patience of science, the power of machine. 2 Praise God for the harvest that's sent from afar, from market and harbour, from tropical shore: foods packed and transported, and planted and grown by God-given neighbours, unseen and unknown. 3 Praise God for the harvest that comes from the ground, by drill or by mineshaft, by opencast mound; for oil and for iron, for tinplate and coal, praise God, who in love has provided them all. 4 Praise God for the harvest of science and skill, the urge to discover, create, and fulfil: for all new inventions that promise to gain a future more hopeful, a world more humane. 5 Praise God for the harvest of mercy and love, for leaders and peoples who struggle and serve to conquer oppression, earth's plenty increase, and gather God's harvest of justice and peace.

God is a Spirit just and wise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #333 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea Lyrics: God is a Spirit, just and wise, He sees our inmost mind; In vain to beav'n we raise our cries, And leave our souls behind. Nothing but truth before his throne With honor can appear; The painted hypocrites are known Through the disguise they wear. Their lifted eyes salute the skies, Their bending knees the ground; But God abhors the sacrifice, Where not the heart is found. Lord, search my thoughts, and try my ways, And make my soul sincere Then shall I stand before thy face, And find acceptance there. Scripture: John 4:24 Languages: English

From age to age exalt his name

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #380 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea Lyrics: From age to age exalt his name; God and his grace are still the same; He fills the hungry soul with food, And feeds the poor with every good. But if their hearts rebel and rise Against the God that rules the skies; If they reject his heav'nly word, And slight the counsels of the Lord He'll bring their spirits to the ground, And no deliv'rer shall be found; Laden with grief, they waste their breath In darkness and the shades of death. Then to the Lord they raise their cries; He makes the dawning light arise, And scatters all that dismal shade That hung so heavy round their head. He cuts the bars of brass in two, And lets the smiling pris'ners through; Takes off the load of guilt and grief, And gives the lab'ring soul relief. O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord How great his works! how kind his ways! Let every tongue pronounce his praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Out on life's dark heaving ocean

Author: Dr. E. H. Dewart, 1828-1903 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #460 (1917) Topics: Sea Evening Hymn at; Sea Evening Hymn at; Sailors' Hymns (See also under "Sea") Lyrics: 1 Out on life's dark heaving ocean, Winds and waves around us rave; In the tempest's wild commotion, Friend of sinners, shield and save! Vain are all our weak endeavours Thou our Guide and Helper be! Star of hope! in danger cheer us; Help can only come from Thee. 2 When the storms of fierce temptation Wildly sweep across our way, And the night of fear and sorrow Quenches every starry ray, Let Thy presence, great Redeemer, Banish all our guilty fear; And the joy of Thy salvation Every fainting spirit cheer. 3 When the mists of doubt and passion Hide the reefs and shoals from sight, God of Love, protect and save us! Be our Refuge and our Light; Be our sure, unerring Pilot, Guide us safely to the shore, Where the waves of sin and sorrow Beat upon the soul no more. Languages: English Tune Title: BITHYNIA

Vain man, on foolish pleasures bent

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #463 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Providence in air, earth, and sea Lyrics: Vain man, on foolish pleasures bent, Prepares for his own punishment; What pains, what loathsome maladies, From luxury and lust arise! The drunkard feels his vitals waste, Yet drowns his health to please his taste; Till all his active powers are lost, And fainting life draws near the dust. The glutton groans, and loathes to eat, His soul abhors delicious meat; Nature, with heavy loads oppressed, Would yield to death to be released. Then how the frighted sinners fly To God for help with earnest cry! He hears their groans, prolongs their breath, And saves them from approaching death. No med'cines could effect the cure So quick, so easy, or so sure; The deadly sentence God repeals, He sends his sovereign word, and heals. O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful off'rings prove How they adore their Maker's love Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Hear us, O Lord, from heaven Thy dwelling-place

Gill, 1819-1906 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #466 (1917) Topics: Sea Perils of ; Storms At Sea Lyrics: 1 Hear us, O Lord, from heaven Thy dwelling-place: Like them of old, in vain we toil all night, Unless with us Thou go, who art the Light; Come then, O Lord, that we may see Thy face. 2 Thou, Lord, dost rule the raging of the sea, When loud the storm and furious is the gale: Strong is Thine arm; our little barques are frail: Send us Thy help; remember Galilee. 3 Our wives and children we commend to Thee: For them we plough the land and plough the deep; For them by day the golden corn we reap, By night the silver harvest of the sea. 4 We thank Thee, Lord, for sunshine, dew, and rain, Broadcast from heaven by Thine almighty hand Source of all life, unnumbered as the sand Bird, beast, and fish, herb, fruit, and golden grain. 5 O Bread of Life, Thou in Thy Word hast said, Who feeds in faith on Me shall never die! In mercy hear Thy hungry children's cry, Father, give us this day our daily bread! 6 Sow in our hearts the seeds of Thy dear love, That we may reap contentment, joy, and peace; And when at last our earthly labours cease, Grant us to join Thy harvest home above.
