Christ Will Come Again
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 5.6.6.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30 Lyrics: 1 Christ will come again,

and sift the weeds from wheat:
then let us passionately care
for peace and justice here on earth,
and evil's rage restrain with love,
till Christ shall come again.
2 Christ will come again
and life shall be complete.
The waters from the throne
shall wash the nations' feet:
then let us passionately care
for health and wholeness here on earth,
and ease our neighbors pain with love,
till Christ shall come again.
3 Christ will come again,
and joy shall be complete
as flames of lightning love
bedeck the judgment seal:
then let us passionately share
the whole great gospel here on earth,
until all things attain their end,
when Christ shall come again. Topics: Health and Wholeness; Jesus Christ Return of; Justice and Peace; Realm of God; Year A Reign of Christ; Year A Easter 5; Year A Proper 11; Year C Easter 6 Used With Tune: IDA

Come, Labor On
Author: Jane L. Borthwick Meter: 4.10.10.10.4 Appears in 71 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:24-26 Lyrics: 1 Come, labor on.
Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain
while all around us waves the golden grain?
And to each servant does the Master say,
"Go work today."
2 Come, labor on.
The enemy is watching night and day,
to sow the tares, to snatch the seed away;
while we in sleep our duty have forgot,
he slumbers not.
3 Come, labor on.
Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do service here:
by feeblest agents may our God fulfill
his righteous will.
4 Come, labor on.
Claim the high calling angels cannot share:
to young and old the gospel gladness bear.
Redeem the time its hours so swiftly fly
the night draws nigh.
5 Come, labor on.
No time for rest, till glows the western sky,
till the long shadows o'er our pathway lie
and a glad sound comes with the setting sun:
"Servants, well done."

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford (1810-1871) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 727 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30 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 offences purge away;
give his angels charge at last
in the fire the weeds 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. Topics: Rogation Days; Harvest Thanksgiving Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR
