Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford 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 God's 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 the harvest home;
From each field shall in that day
All offenses purge away;
Give the angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In God's 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.

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:24-28 First Line: Happy are they, they that love God Lyrics: 1 Happy are they, they that love God,
whose hearts have Christ confest,
who by his cross have found their life,
and 'neath his yoke their rest.
2 Glad is the praise, sweet are the songs,
when they together sing;
and strong the prayers that bow the ear
of heaven's eternal King.
3 Christ to their homes giveth his peace,
and makes their loves his own:
but ah, what tares the evil one
hath in his garden sown!
4 Sad were our lot, evil this earth,
did not its sorrows prove
the path whereby the sheep may find
the fold of Jesus' love.
5 Then shall they know, they that love him,
how all their pain is good;
and death itself cannot unbind
their happy brotherhood.

Author: John Cawood, 1775-1852 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:18-24 Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, Your Word is cast
Like seed into the ground;
Now let the dew of heav'n descend
And righteous fruits abound.
2 Let not the sly satanic foe
This holy seed remove,
But give it root in ev'ry heart
To bring forth fruits of love.
3 Let not the world's deceitful cares
The rising plant destroy,
But let it yield a hundredfold
The fruits of peace and joy.
4 So when the precious seed is sown,
Life-giving grace bestow
That all whose souls the truth receive
Its saving pow'r may know.

And grow to his perfection;

So by his skillful hand
The church of Christ shall stand;
The master-builder's plan
He works, as he began,
And soon will crown with splendor.
2 Christ's people serve his wayward world
To whom he seems a stranger;
He knows its welcome from of old,
He shares our joy, our danger:
So strong, and yet so weak,
The church of Christ shall speak;
His cross our greatest need,
His word the vital seed
That brings a fruitful harvest.
3 Christ's living lamp shall brightly burn,
And to our earthly city
Forgotten beauty shall return,
And purity and pity:
To give the oppressed their right
The church of Christ shall fight;
And though the years seem long
He is our strength and song,
And he is our salvation.

Beyond the Beauty and the Awe
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13 Lyrics: 1 Beyond the beauty and the awe,
beyond the fear and dread,
we long, O God, to hear your word,
to taste your transformed bread.
2 Our lives feel torn between the world,
whose needs are grimly real,
and empty talk of peace and joy
with distant, vague appeal.
3 Oh, teach us how to hear your voice
despite the traffic’s din,
to keep the blasts of rancor out
and let your Spirit in.
4 In sound or silence, sight or smell,
may we some token find
that makes your living presence known
to body, soul, and mind.
5 Then help us live as Jesus taught,
as light and salt and yeast,
that others may be brought to share
your promise and your feast.

Beyond the Beauty and the Awe
Ye Christian men pray notice well!
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30 Lyrics: 1 Ye Christian men pray notice well!
Our Saviour in the Parable
Does clearly prove and plainly show,
What Satan in the Church can do.
2 The Church is to a field compar'd,
Well cultivated and prepar'd:
And where the Gospel truth is b'liev'd,
There is the Gospel seed receiv'd.
3 But when the watchmen fall to sleep,
And they neglect their guard to keep,
The enemy soon interfer's,
And sows the field with seeds of tares.
4 Such ever was the Churches case,
The formal Christian void of grace:
Is like the tares among the wheat,
When rightly prov'd is but a cheat.
5 But lest the wheat be pluck'd up too,
The tares among the wheat must grow:
There to remain till harvest day,
Till they are search'd and cast away.
6 This Parable will shew us plain,
That Saints and Sinners will remain:
As members of his Church and State,
Till Jesus comes to separate.
7 How careful then ought we attend!
To watch and pray unto the end;
Till all our trials shall be past,
Lest we should prove but tares at last. Topics: Fifth Sunday after Epiphany
Ye Christian men pray notice well!

Hearts to heaven and voices raise;
sing to God a hymn of gladness,
sing to God a hymn of praise:
he who on the cross a victim
for the world's salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
now is risen from the dead.
2 Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits
of the holy harvest field,
which will all its full abundance
at his second coming yield;
then the golden ears of harvest
will their heads before him wave,
ripened by his glorious sunshine,
from the furrows of the grave.
3 Christ is risen, we are risen;
shed upon us heavenly grace,
rain, and dew, and gleams of glory
from the brightness of thy face;
that we, with our hearts in heaven,
here on earth may fruitful be,
and by angel-hands be gathered,
and be ever, Lord, with thee.

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."
