Come, Ye Thankful People, Come

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 754 hymnals Topics: Commission Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come; raise the song of harvest home. All is safely gathered in ere the winter storms begin. God, our Maker, doth provide for our wants to be supplied; come to God's own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home. 2 All the world is God's own field, fruit unto His praise to yield, wheat and tares 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; from His field shall in that day all offenses purge away, give His angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast, but the fruitful ears to store in His garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come to Thy final harvest home; gather Thou Thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin, there forever purified, in Thy presence to abide. Come, with all Thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home. Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 307 hymnals Topics: Service Music Sending Forth/Commissioning Lyrics: 1 The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended, the darkness falls at thy behest; to thee our morning hymns ascended, thy praise shall sanctify our rest. 2 We thank thee that thy church unsleeping while earth rolls onward into light, thro' all the world her watch is keeping, and rests not now by day or night. 3 As o’er each continent and island the dawn leads on another day, the voice of prayer is never silent, nor dies the strain of praise away. 4 The sun, that bids us rest, is waking our brethren 'neath the western sky, and hour by hour fresh lips are making thy wondrous doings heard on high. 5 So be it, Lord! Thy throne shall never, like earth’s proud empires, pass away; thy kingdom stands, and grows forever, till all thy creatures own thy sway. Used With Tune: ST CLEMENT
