What Our Father Does Is Well
Author: Benjamin Schmolck Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: A Day of Thanksgiving or a Harvest Festival Lyrics: 1 What our Father does is well;
Blessed truth His children tell!
Though for plenty He send want,
Though the harvest store be scant,
Yet we rest upon His love,
Seeking better things above.
2 What our Father does is well;
Shall the wilful heart rebel
If a blessing He withhold
In the field, or in the fold?
Is He not Himself to be
All our store eternally?
3 What our Father does is well;
Though He sadden hill and dell,
Upward yet our praises rise
For the strength His Word supplies.
He has called us sons of God;
Can we murmur at His rod?
4 What our Father does is well;
May the thought within us dwell.
Though nor milk nor honey flow
In our barren Canaan now,
God can save us in our need,
God can bless us, God can feed.
5 Therefore unto Him we raise
Hymns of glory, songs of praise;
To the Father and the Son
And the Spirit, Three in One,
Honor, might, and glory be
Now and through eternity.
Amen. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 8:12 Used With Tune: LUX PRIMA
What Our Father Does Is Well
When All Thy Mercies, O My God
Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 999 hymnals Topics: A Day of Thanksgiving or a Harvest Festival Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I’m lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
2 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the last a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
3 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I’ll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
4 Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I’ll raise:
But O, eternity’s too short
To utter all Thy praise!
Amen.

All things living show His hand.

Write Thou deeply in my heart
What I am, and what Thou art.

Before Jehovah's Awful Throne
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 965 hymnals Topics: A Day of Thanksgiving or a Harvest Festival Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone,
He can create, and He destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to His fold again.
3 We are His people, we His care,
Our souls and all our mortal frame:
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to Thy Name?
4 We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is Thy command,
Vast as eternity Thy love;
Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.
Amen. Used With Tune: OLD HUNDRETH
Before Jehovah's Awful Throne
Lord, with Glowing Heart I'd Praise Thee
Author: Francis Scott Key Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 280 hymnals Topics: A Day of Thanksgiving or a Harvest Festival Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise Thee
For the bliss Thy love bestows,
For the pard'ning grace that saves me,
And the peace that from it flows.
Help, O God, my weak endeavor;
This dull soul to rapture raise:
Thou must light the flame, or never
Can my love be warmed to praise.
2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
From the paths of death away.
Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling,
Him who saw thy guilt-born fear,
And, the light of hope revealing,
Bade the bloodstained Cross appear.
3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling
Vainly would my lips express;
Low before Thy footstool kneeling,
Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless.
Let Thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure,
Love’s pure flame within me raise:
And, since words can never measure,
Let my life show forth Thy praise.
Amen.

Sing songs of love and praise;
With joyful hearts and voices
Your alleluias raise:
By Him the rolling seasons
In fruitful order move;
Sing to the Lord of harvest
A song of happy love.

The deserts bloom and spring,
The hills leap up in gladness,
The valleys laugh and sing:
He filleth with His fulness
All things with large increase,
He crowns the year with goodness,
With plenty, and with peace.
3 Heap on His sacred altar
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 ye fall,
And with your lives adore Him,
Who gave His life for all.

All that autumn freely pours
From her overflowing stores:
4 These to Thee, my God, we owe,
Source whence all our blessings flow.
And for these my souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.

O Lord of Heaven and Earth and Sea
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 727 hymnals Topics: A Day of Thanksgiving or a Harvest Festival 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!
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 13:25-26 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR

O Worship the King, All-glorious Above
Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,142 hymnals Topics: A Day of Thanksgiving or a Harvest Festival Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all-glorious above,
And gratefully sing His wonderful love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of His might, and sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space;
His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old;
Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast like a mantle the sea.
4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
6 O measureless Might! ineffable Love!
While angels delight to hymn Thee above,
The humbler creation, though feeble its lays,
With true adoration shall sing to Thy praise.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: LYONS
O Worship the King, All-glorious Above
