Give thanks, my soul, for harvest
Author: William Watkins Reid, 1890- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #805 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Work Lyrics: 1 Give thanks, my soul, for harvest,
for store of fruit and grain,
but know the owner gives us
that we may share again;
where souls are lone and hungry,
where needy children cry,
with gifts from God’s rich bounty
may thankfulness reply.
2 Give thanks, my soul, for riches
of woodland, mine and hill,
but know that gold and timber
are the Creator's still,
and God's on loan to stewards
to fashion and to share,
providing all earth's children
the blessing of God's care.
3 Give thanks, my soul, for labours
that strength and days employ,
but know your Maker's purpose
brings toil as well as joy.
Where leads the path to error,
where justice lies in chain,
where hoarders cause new hunger,
there must we strive again.
4 Give thanks, my soul, for beauty,
for vision, hope and skill,
for Christ, divine revealer
of God's redeeming will.
Show forth, O God, your purpose;
direct our will and hand
to share your love and bounty
with all, in every land. Scripture: Psalm 50:10-11 Languages: English Tune Title: CRÜGER
Give thanks, my soul, for harvest
Sweet rivers of redeeming love
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #806 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Sweet rivers of redeeming love
I see before me lie;
Had I the pinions of a dove,
I'd to those rivers fly.
2 I'd rise superior to my pain,
With joy outstrip the wind;
I'd cross bold Jordan's stormy main,
And leave the world behind.
3 A few more days, or years at most,
My troubles will be o'er;
I hope to join the heavenly host
On Canaan's happy shore.
4 My rapturous soul shall drink and feast
In love's unbounded sea:
The glorious hope of endless rest
Is ravishing to me.
5 O, come, my Saviour, come away,
And bear me to the sky!
Nor let thy chariot wheels delay;
Make haste and bring it nigh.
6 I long to see thy glorious face,
And in thine image shine;
To triumph in victorious grace,
And be forever thine. Tune Title: LAND OF REST
Sweet rivers of redeeming love
O land of rest, for thee I sigh
Author: Elizabeth Mills Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #807 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 O land of rest, for thee I sigh;
When will the moment come
When I shall lay my armor by,
And dwell with Christ at home?
2 No tranquil joys on earth I know,
No peaceful, sheltering dome;
This world's a wilderness of woe,
This world is not my home.
3 To Jesus Christ I sought for rest;
He bade me cease to roam,
And fly for succor to his breast,
And he'd conduct me home.
4 When by affliction sharply tried,
Faith tells of scenes to come,
Those endless joys prepared above,
And then I sigh for home.
5 Weary of wandering round and round
This vale of sin and gloom,
I long to leave the unhallowed ground,
And dwell with Christ at home. Tune Title: LAND OF REST
O land of rest, for thee I sigh
On time's tempestuous ocean wide
Author: I. I. Leslie Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #808 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 On time's tempestuous ocean wide,
A gallant ship set sail,
And out into the raging deep
She stood before the gale,
Well fitted to abide the storm,
And angry water's foam,
And bring the captives that she bore
Unto her haven home.
2 Long was to be her voyage the time,
Six thousand years almost,
Ere she would make the highland hights,
Along the heavenly coast;
Yet with her sails expanded wide,
On, on, she swiftly flew,
Bearing with ardent hope and love
Her passengers and crew.
3 Oft tempests have assailed her round,
And stormy winds rose high;
And dark have been the mountain waves
That bore her to the sky;
But o'er them all, with steady helm,
She onward pressed her way;
Her compass, true unto the pole,
Guides her to endless day.
4 Long, long, she has been out, and now
She nears her haven home;
A beacon light hangs o'er her bow,
And bids her thither come;
And voices joyful oft are heard,
And music swelling high:
"The land! the land! the land ahead!"
With rapture now they cry.
5 Now soon will she be safely moored
And anchored in the bay;
And all her passengers on shore
Will keep a festal day;
And long their songs of joy will rise
Beneath high heaven's dome;
They've passed the stormy sea of time,
They've reached their haven home. Tune Title: PERSEVERANCE
On time's tempestuous ocean wide

What though the angry waves roll high
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #809 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 What though the angry waves roll high,
And darkness reigns around?
Let hope be bright in every eye;
Our ship is homeward bound.
What though no moon nor stars appear
Amid the gloom profound?
We will not yield a place to fear;
Our ship is homeward bound.
2 What though the lightnings glare above,
And deafening thunders roar?
Yet with the eye of faith and love
We view the distant shore.
We know that friends will meet us there,
We loved in life before;
And angel forms, all bright and fair,
Line the immortal shore.
3 Then let the fearful thunders roar,
And let the lightnings glare;
We're nearing the eternal shore,
And we are almost there.
Then heave, ye waves, on every side,
And onward, homeward bear
Our fragile bark, 'gainst wind and tide;
For we are almost there.
4 The coward peers, with trembling form,
Into the gloom profound;
But we can smile to view the storm;
Our ship is homeward bound:
And though for us, on time's dark wave
No place of rest be found,
O let our hearts be true and brave;
Our ship is homeward bound.
Tune Title: PERSEVERANCE
What though the angry waves roll high
Ye servants of the Lord
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #810 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in his office wait;
Observant of his heavenly word,
And watchful at his gate;
Observant of his heavenly word,
And watchful at his gate.
2 Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins as in his sight;
His coming thus proclaim.
3 Watch, 'tis your Lord's command,
And while we speak, he's near;
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
4 O, happy servant he,
In such a posture found!
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crowned. Tune Title: EL KADER
Ye servants of the Lord
Far down the ages now
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #811 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Far down the ages now,
Much of her journey done,
The pilgrim church pursues her way,
Until her crown be won.
2 No slacker grows the fight,
No feebler is the foe,
Nor less the need of armor tried,
Of shield and spear and bow.
3 Thus onward still we press
Through evil and through good,
Through pain and poverty and want,
Through peril and through blood.
4 Still faithful to our God,
And to our Captain true,
We follow where he leads the way,
The kingdom in our view. Tune Title: EL KADER
Far down the ages now
